Anterior pelvic tilt is one of the most common dysfunctions one can have, upwards of 75% of the population actually experiences this dysfunction. In this video, I’m going to show you how to reverse the effects of chronic sitting by addressing what muscles are causing anterior pelvic tilt and how to strengthen the areas that are weak. With a 4-step attack plan, you are going to be able to fix this muscle and joint imbalance once and for all. Before we get started, it is important to define what anterior pelvic tilt really is. It’s a postural deficiency caused by tightness and weakness in certain muscle groups of the core and pelvis to pull the pelvis downward and anteriorly. This is easy to spot from the side when looking in the mirror. You will notice an exaggerated curvature in the low back and a protruding stomach. This protruding stomach is a result of the abdominal muscles not being strong enough to counteract the downward pull of the pelvis. The muscles that are affected by tightness include both the hip flexors and the spinal erectors of the low back while the weakened muscles include the glutes and the abs. There is an interplay of all these muscles that contribute to something called lower cross syndrome. The tight hip flexors pull the pelvis forward and down, which the weak abs can’t counteract, while the lower back becomes tighter and overactive with the glutes being unable to counteract any of the above. This dysfunction often results in postural deficiencies which can lead to low back pain. One area of tightness that comes as a result of anterior pelvic tilt is in the hamstrings. Does that mean you should stretch your hamstrings as well You might think that tight hamstrings is causing the issue, but it is actually a result of the positioning of the pelvis. The fact that the posterior side of the pelvis is raised is pulling the hamstrings tighter. As a result, you will want to avoid stretching the hamstrings because as you fix your anterior pelvic tilt, the hamstrings will become more relaxed. So, how do we address this and fix anterior pelvic tilt once and for all Well, we need to stretch the proper muscles that are tight and strengthen the muscles that are weak. We can attack the tight hip flexors with a simple stretch that we call a kneeling overhead reach. This is done from a lunge position with one knee on the ground. This is the side that you will be stretching by pushing your pelvis forward, reaching overhead, and leaning to the opposite side. You will feel a deep stretch in the hip flexor. Do this for 60-90 seconds, depending on you ability level, on each side for two sets. For the tight low back, you will lay on your back, pull your knees all the way up to your chest and lift your pelvis off the ground. You should feel a good stretch in the muscles of the low back. Perform this stretch for 60-90 seconds as well, also for 2 sets. When it comes to stretching, you will ideally be performing them at night before bedtime, but if that doesn't work, find some time throughout the day to get them done. Now, we need to figure how to strengthen the weakened abs and glutes. For weak abs, we have two exercises to do; anchored crunches and swipers. With the anchored crunch, anchor a band around something sturdy and then around your heels. Pull your feet back and crunch up. This will effectively activate the hamstrings which will reciprocally deactivate the hip flexors and make sure that the abs are doing the work. The next exercise is something I call a swiper. Instead of simply lifting your legs up in the air, which will cause the hip flexors to contribute, you will actively lift your pelvis off the ground as you lift your legs in the air. The swipe is reinforcement that your pelvis has successfully lifted off the ground. Do both of these ab exercises for 2-3 sets of 60-90 seconds depending on your ability level. For the weak glutes, we also have two exercises we can do. The first exercise is the the bridge and reach over. This will help to activate and strengthen the glutes while also stretching the hip flexors in the process. Perform this for 2-3 sets of 60-90 seconds. The second glute strengthening exercise is a sprinter stretch lunge. Perform this for 2-3 sets of 10-12 reps on each side. Fix Anterior Pelvic Tilt - Subscribe to this channel here -

Thanks for this! Can you also do a video on how to improve rib flare
There's tons of possible causes (bad posture, scoliosis, pectus, wrong breathing etc) and I guess not all of them can be fixed with exercise, but there's definitely stuff you can do to decrease the severity. For example my flare is probably caused by a combination of a mild case of pectus excavatum and a mild to medium case of scoliosis which in turn was caused by an untreated lateral pelvic tilt over many years.
Longish story short: I don't think I can fix it with exercise as it's rooted in actual bone deformities BUT when I flex my abs really hard, I can see a massive decrease in flare intensity. The problem is this only lasts while I'm flexing and I don't think it's possible to get my abs to a state where they permanently pull my ribs straight like this. However, this also tells me that muscles to have a strong influence on this deformity and I keep wondering how much I could improve it with the right exercises.
(I already hit the gym 4 times a week so it's not a matter of Just do more crunches, bruh)

Big Question. Hey Jessy, my wife has got a huge problem with her legs due to yeras of wrong shoesize and bad posture. Lot was fixed with the help of you and Jeff, you know the old guy in your videos that you tutor. (comone Jeff you got a house, family and good healt, let Jessy have this one; ) Every time she lifts her leg with bend knee more then 90 dagrees her knees Click. Seams to be still some muscle inbalance since if I tell her so contract all the muskels in the leg then lift it up, it doese not Click. How would we go about figurint out exactly which muscle needs the special atention If we train everything is probaly won't realy go away. Love you both, have a stress free and cool weekend.

I have this posture problem. I hacksquat in the gym, and recently have been feeling pain right on that lower back spot. It doesnt really hurt me while lifting, but after I finish I hang myself on a bar to stretch and I feel the pain, or even while doing normal activities like bending to tie my sneakers I feel that pain. Praying its not spine hernia. I dont feel anything numb or pain in my leg, just the back, but im worried since its a specific spot on the lower back.
reply

i found out my atp issue was me doing it on purpose and thought this is my normal posture for an entire year. (1 year of lower back pain)
all i had to do was stand straight and look in the mirror to adjust my hip. (basically pushing hips to the front)
and after a couple of days of doing the same thing of no butt exxageration - my issue was fixed.
so its been 6 months now. waking up without lower back pain.

Literally perfect timing been looking up stuff for my back and I remember you had a video a while ago but being younger than I am now I didn’t take it as seriously but constant pain and my belly poking forward all these years it’s times to do something
reply

All these exercises are doing nothing for the pelvis, if you have an anterior tilt in a static standing posture, try to posteriorly tilt that pelvis instead of these. If you want to be in another posture you just need to be aware to change it.

When I flex my left arm i feel an extreme tightness on my left elbow. almost feels like its off the inside bone of my elbow and the elbow tip. so my left bicep doesnt feel like i really feel it VS. my right arm. Is this an injury or tendonitis
reply

Hi, I’m 60 and in a reasonable level of fitness are these exercises ok for me - I only ask because I used a bull worker last year like I did in my 20s and tore my rotator cuff not going to hold you to it - just want some helpful advice
reply

I agree with needing to inhibit the hip flexors but repositioning should be taught also, doing a posterior pelvic tilt with a slight flexed back to get out of that pelvic tilt and relaxing the paraspinals should be step one in my opinion
reply

Mine is odee to the point I thought I needed to go to a chiro. I wake up with lower back pain and when I stand for too long it gets so tight and hurts. Interestingly enough it doesn't affect my lifts only when I do seated cable rows.

Yall posting comments that suffer from this bcz you are hunched over on your phone screen all day. Put the damn phones down. And for smart a$$es no I didn’t post this comment on my phone. I have what’s called a chair and a desktop
reply

Yeah long ago i visited an orthopedician for the same. he advised me to strengthen my core and lower back muscles. and bammm. after 6months of exercise particularly targeting my core and and lower back it was gone for good.
reply

Yes, finally explanation on this. dealing with this all this time, I wasn’t sure if I’m not position properly, why the lower back pain. Especially on the one leg RDLs you can feel it most. Ugh. thank you! Yes more like this.
reply

What if i have lower ab pain instead of lower back pain My doctor and physician told me that my pain is a result of anterior pelvic tilt. I feel pain in my lower abs when i play soccer (shooting and passing) and while running.

Love the PT videos. Especially since I've had this since a teenager. Which, as a now middle aged dude, has definitely resulted in low back pain. Will be doing this routine for sure. Thanks guys.
reply

Guys i need help please!
When doing the sprinter stretch lunge i dont feel any stretch in my hip flexor and when contracting i feel it in the opposite glute. what am i doing wrong Thanks!
reply

Seriously useful. Been running into problems with this for months from all the sitting I have to do at work. I can even feel the relief from these exercises after just doing one session!
reply

Hi Jeff, I watch a lot of ATP videos, everyones telling you different things, i've got people saying calf raises and planks,
you mention neither, do you recommend them
Cheers
reply

I naturally have thislordosis. It is not easy to un tilt but with certain moves (especially floor abs work) I have to be conscious I do this to avoid injury to my low back
