ve been suffering from anterior pelvic tilt for several months and I’m tired of it. It slows me down in Track & Field, it’s hard for me to sleep on my back which is the sleeping position that makes me feel refreshed and energized due to the tight hips pulling down on my lumbar spine affecting my whole body and breathing. I have strong abs, obliques, and all of the other lower body muscles since I'm a sprinter. I also make sure to do static stretches and massage my Psoas but none of that helps. Julius Jackson The tightness in my hips literally prevents me from extending my legs all the way as a runner whilst affecting my whole body; I even tested positive for the Thomas test which tests for hip flexor tightness. @Waugh Fitness please help me and give me advice on what I need to do.
That bridge with yoga blocks feels so much better. So much easier to breathe, too. I think I'm the type-2 anterior tilt. My QL is super tight, and no matter how much I build my glute muscles up, I can't seem to get rid of that last little bit of disharmony in my pelvis. This was really helpful. Thanks so much!
@@sashacurcic1719how are you doing now? Any tips for the QL my right one is so dang tight. I keep doing all the stretches and then strengthening and it gets back tight.
This issue of APT is so frustrating man. I have been suffering my whole life,never been able to have a small tight midsection,living life with arched low back and pregnant looking belly. Holding breath sometimes to look good 😖😖😖
If a person has an anterior pelvic tilt AND a hip hike, should she work on fixing both simultaneously, or one at a time? If one at a time, which should be worked on first? Your channel is SO helpful! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.
I find poor breathing mechanics and weak deep abdominals to be a common problem. Also, weak hamstrings and glutes play a vital role. I’d say you hit this right on the money. We should strengthen our posterior chain as a whole. Rear delts, upper, mid, and lower traps. All of it. The problem is that it’s hard to do these things when you’re already stuck in a poor posture.
Hi KYLE , this video was really good ....i am looking forward to more such videos in future . I wanted to know about progress posture program basically how that works , for whom it will work . please respond
@@waughfit will that work for someone whose left hip (way much) forward than right side of pelvis and from front view right hip is hiked and from back view left side is hiked . will this program be able to resolve this? . please let me know . By the way ,I just checked your webpage it is quite good.
It allows those with tight glutes to work the posterior chain from a more lengthened position. You’ll notice a difference in sensation and muscles worked with the bridges.
Hi, is it possible that my protruding belly/bad posture is not actually my pelvis being anteriorly tilted, but is actually a weak psoas and weak abs making my belly protrude forward? I was told that I have "slight" anterior pelvic tilt, but my spine really curves forward at the bottom of the thoracic spine. I also have a posteriorly rotated ribcage so I don't know if that plays a part as well. Thanks for your help!

My APT is very noticeable and causes painful low back stiffness. Growing up other girls would ask me why I was sticking my butt out (I wasn’t intentionally)🥲. Whenever I notice that my posture is getting lazy or feel tightness, I will hinge forward from the waist to stretch/lengthen the muscles. There’s lots of crepitus and soreness but it feels better than having knots. Anyway, thank you for all the exercises! I really hope to correct it.
Hey waugh, can you do a similar video of swayback with different scenarios and representations. I liked the video but there is already a lot of talk about APT nowadays, while searching for swaybacks direct us to some stupid stretch videos.
i thought i was tripping when j thought this was deteriorating my health. my breathing and my back felt better when i found out what my weak points were months ago. i had a super weak stabilizers such as my abs and scapula. i had no back and i have never knew how to use my abs for anything.
Good question! 1) anecdotally, I see this a lot so I just kind of bleated it out. 2) I believe it’s one of the first compensation steps wide ISAs take when under stress, load, etc. they like to use their backs more if you would lol. That’s over simplifying it but hopefully that helps.
For me it’s a special kind of frustration because I have a herniated disk, and any time I start to fix this issue I get back pain from my pelvis being neutral. To the point where my nerve gets super irritated. Feels like it’s impossible to fix because my hip likes being at a slight anterior spot due to this herniation.
@@Omer-gv2tp I fixed it by just being patient and consistent. I adjusted my sleeping position with a pillow under my legs at night and I waited until my back had healed, and then just kept trying to neutralize it. Herniated disk is still there, but after trial and error I know which work outs to avoid. I lift pretty heavy now carefully, look pretty good and lost a lot of weight as well.
@@Omer-gv2tp thanks 🙏🏻. Yes I can, I can touch my toes, however I can’t hold that position for a long time or go into it often otherwise eventually I will begin to feel some minor discomfort that turns into significant discomfort if I lift with my back enough. I hope your situation gets better man, best of luck.
What posture or pain presentations should I cover next?
Dorosiflexion?
swayback
Forward head rounded shoulders
Clicky hip joints

You're welcome! Type two can be a pain. I also like downward dog movements with a yoga block between the knees. Can be helpful.
@@waughfit Right. Down dog definitely feels like something that's on my path to redemption. I've been working on that one. Gradually getting better.
@@sashacurcic1719how are you doing now? Any tips for the QL my right one is so dang tight. I keep doing all the stretches and then strengthening and it gets back tight.
Do you think you’ll ever make an anterior pelvic tilt follow along workout? This would be a life saver!!
Yup! On this list for this month 😁

its been 2 months, curious, hows ur progress going?

Depends on what is causing more hip mobility limitations. Go after what is causing the most restriction.

That info is all at the website there. It’s for anyone looking to solve general posture related issues
Check it out at www.progressposture.com

can you please offer me a coupon code for this program
Thanks, really important topic for me!
What does this elevation of the feet using blocks in hooklying breathing move?
It allows those with tight glutes to work the posterior chain from a more lengthened position. You’ll notice a difference in sensation and muscles worked with the bridges.
A class on strengthening glutes perhaps using a roller or band

For the bridge exercise at 6:55, should we focus on only hamstrings by pushing heels into the ground, so there isn't any glute squeezing?
Correct, try to keep them relaxed and let the hammies do the work
Does it effect your height?
Why does a wide sternum body present apt more often?

Naturally slight anterior pelvic tilt will be corrected in this excercise
