Lateral Pelvic Tilt, the quadratus lumborum, and the fix.

- PLEASE READ: Exercises to fix a lateral pelvic tilt are found on my website: pritrainer.com/pri-left-aic-r...
The right quadrutus lumborum, or QL, is a lower abdominal muscle. It is often tight when you experience a lateral pelvic tilt. Sometimes the QL itself is painful, but sometimes the tilt is causing pain elsewhere, particularly in the SI joints. I had this experience for a long time. The lateral pelvic tilt didn't resolve until pelvic repositioning.
There are many pelvic repositioning techniques. This is just one of them.

Any questions, let me know.
I pulled my QL at 23 and I'm 29 and lived with the tilt and it's gradually gotten tighter and so many chiropractors I visit say "nah the QL won't do that" and literally this man explained my entire problem verbatim....
@@googleadmin1515 yes my left side
Did it make your diaphragm so tight it hurt to exhale for a little bit
Are u right now
Just practised this and even my right ankle pain instantly felt better thanks so much
Cool. I'm happy to hear that.
I've had this problem off and on for over 30 years. I think too soft of a mattress (sleeping on back in a dip) aggravates it. I can usually walk 75% of it off but takes 5-6 days to get back in place. Great video!!!
Wow it makes so much sense. I’m the opposite, my left is higher than my right probably because of my injury. I just “really” watched myself walk in front of a mirror. And I saw everything you were saying! Thanks
Hello Rebecca, I have the same problem because of herniated disc or si joint injury and my pelvis is higher on left side and twisted, my right gluteus mediums is smaller and my right leg is weaker. Right leg is unstable and shaky during running.
This has develop over ten years.
Could you please tell me if any exercise or treatment helped you.
Thank very much for your answers in advance.
@@Hikmetkarademir same. On the left too
Same for me. My right SI joint comes out causes compression on the left side leading to back pain and a pinched nerve
Goldmine. This series is what I’ve been missing. Thanks man.
You're welcome.
Your videos and explanations are outstanding! Thank you!
thank you, Cynthia. I appreciate your very kind words :)
I Neal I ave a issued as my right leg is sharter than the left, have bein this condition for about ten to fifteen years, I really really need some help on this ,how can I see you am in Miami Florida do you have a office here
This is the best explanation a lateral pelvic tilt that I have ever found. The 90/90 position really helps!
How do you feel now boss?
Thanks a million!! I love needing out over this stuff and learning new things about my body!!
Happy to hear that. I have lots of videos on this channel for you to nerd out over.
Just read your article. Will report back after the video. I appreciate what you're doing. :)
Thanks, Mark.
Omg. You confirmed everything I thought was happening! But how do I retrain my body?
I had an issue with my left QL when I was 22, so it s been 20 years that I had been lived with it, also brings pelvic tilt, finaly with the right technic of training of my QL has been fixed, also pelvic tilt fixed as well.. Thank you for the video and information.
💙💙💙
Hey bro can you tell me what you followed i have been suffered for past 6 months
What exercises did you do for your QL?
Guys get a tennis ball and try to play it with your feet every with a small amount of pressure it's kind of massage but when the ball under your foot, explore some ankle, knee and hip movements, when you feel pain don't go forward more and keep explore the hip around that pain
@@zaferbaksihi brother ,
In which side of leg we have to perform this left leg which is hiked up & right which is low which makes my body to shift towards right side which causes pain in my all the joint on my left body parts
OMG - Like your blog I have had this issue for years. If I do a QL stretch as prescribed by physio the issue can get even worse (as it is today). I have the exact problem you lateral pelvic tilt and my right QL is always switched on. No one has been able to resolve this. I will try some exercises today. You could be my life changer - I live in hope
I highly suggest finding a Postural Restoration provider to help you.
Hi Neal hoping you see this message, ive watched alot of your videos.
Ive suffered with left sided pain from my back down to my quad, mainly my left QL and left TFL.
I feel like my left side is always turned on and because of this I had many trigger points and my right side is weak because its been switched off for so long, is this possible ?
Also Ive been doing the 90/90 with my feet on the wall, when I take my right foot off the wall my left groin cramps up really bad and also my left QL cramps up to the point I can only hold 1-2 breathes and I have to stop.
Thanks.
Thanks you so much for the video. I would get these on my left ql after squatting with heavy weight and no belt 315+, back would spams and leave with a wonky stance for a few days an pain. These stance and breathing exercises really helped. Now I just have to fix my technique working out so it doesn’t happen again
One Day i Was Jogging and Felt Pain in the Front of my Hip on the right side... Eventually i noticed when i stood on it i tilted... IM just now finding out what i have and my left slightly tilts ... What Should i do what Type of doctor i Really Wana fix this
Do you think putting an insole in opposite side of your hip hike will help?
I tried this and it immediately activated all my weak muscles and relaxed the overactive ones
you could also check out if you sleep on your side, it caused my problem ruclips.net/video/ynwfM7oZB0o/видео.html
It's still not clear what I need to do I have a "short" leg and my opposite knee is in pain from overcompensation. I was so flexible, dou g the splits until ine pose that made me stuck since then on. No exercise could readjust and balance my pelvis and sacrum.
Can this happen on the left ql , I been having problems with my left ql and I kinda feel my right hamstring tight
Such an accurate description of my situation
Okay, I now understand why I need to breath properly when I do 90 90 hip shift. Thank you!
Can sitting with 1 leg higher then the other cause this. Like driving for multiple hours out of the week with 1 leg at a 90/90 while the other one is on the pedal ?
Very helpful, Thanks!
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IM EXPERIENCING!! HOW DO I DIAGNOSE THIS?
Wow I wish I saw this video years ago but grateful🤙.
Currently have right Achilles tendonitis and plantar fasciitis and in a cast. I believe it’s from years of lateral pelvic tilt which no Rothman doctors have ever said to me… I want to try this but I am on crutches and scooter and my tilt has been worse bc of this… visually you can see how my eyes jaws shoulders hips and legs are all uneven. My rib cage is so out of place too! I actually want others to see my case to help any one younger dealing with this!
I am in New Jersey if anyone can help!
Appreciate you!
The best explanation and link of QL and pelvis and linking to gait and stance. How it affects running and posterior chain is never explained and this is the start. Sidelined me from running uphill for years and extremely frustrating since no one connects textbook functions with actual movements. Just wish I knew what I do to cause it so often. Running uphill and being a triathlete might not help
Deep Thoughts, if you are in the US, a PRI therapist could help.
I wish I knew you 20 yrs ago when I was in NYC! Will follow up after injuries settle.
what if your left QL is tight? My left side is side bent and my left side hurts. My left leg is shorter and the illium posteriorly rotated. My right illium is anteriorly rotated. I keep doing the 90-90 but it feels like it is making it worse. Thanks for your advice
The left QL can be tight, but for a different reason than the right QL. I would recommend watching my video about "why you aren't a right AIC", because many people think their right illium is forward rather than the left (but in six years of doing PRI I've never seen it through testing). Try searching for an "all-fours" PRI breathing technique on RUclips. Some people can't do a 90-90 without guidance (position and breathing is very specific).
So you're saying if a person is patterned he should not use an orthotic ?
First he needs to get neutralise ?
I am in left AIC and my left foot is overly
Pronated and i am not sensing my left arch my 65 % weight on left heel what should I do please tell
My problem is on the left inside. Same advise applies?
Hello sir. I am rohan from india. I am 21 year old. I play triathlon. I have minor lateral pelvic tilt. So can keep doing swimming and cycling followed by your video stretchings ?
I really needed this thank you
Great. Glad it helped.
Please make a seperate video on the fix
Couldn't get what you want us to do to fix this. I am having the same issues.
You have to reposition your pelvis through a PRI exercise. Something like this:
ruclips.net/video/3x2uhhcu-LA/видео.html
If you are in the United States, there are lots of PRI trained physical therapists that would know exactly what I am talking about. You could check the Postural Restoration Institute website and go to the "Find a Provider Page".
@@NealHallinan if the left side is higher than the right the same exercise work for the fix or i have to put my weight in the right side ?
@@naima99 you can do the same exercise. You don't want to do your right leg. The underlying pelvic pattern is the same no matter what side is higher.
@@NealHallinan thanks you
The left leg is in pronation that mean the left adductor is weak the right feet is in supination that mean the right adductor is tight?
So if my hip looks like it is shifting to the RIGHT..Do I focus on LEFT hamstrings, obliques, adductors? Or do I focus on the RIGHT hamstrings, obliques and adductors???
Left!
is lateral pelvic tilt same as hip hike?
Hey Neal how to know if the lateral tilt is due to muscle imbalances or left aic pattern
It's the left AIC pattern that leads to the muscle imbalance. Some imbalance is normal. But when that imbalance gets too great, that's when you end up in a tilt. Another way to look at it is that the left AIC pattern is normal, but when the normal becomes too extreme, the imbalances become too great, and the tilt results.
Great video Neil , if the right side is High as you mention in the video how does this fit in with the Left AIC , I thought in a left AIC we will see the left side higher ??
From my experience, either side can seem high from a visual perspective. Underneath you'll still find the Left AIC pattern and usually accompanied with a right BC pattern. The right BC will internally rotate the right ribs and thus cause over activity of the right QL due to this rib position.
I think i am left AIC but my left side erector spine and QL are in pain and feel like they need release, not the right ones. Is this possible?
This is probably common with people who had acl surgery or another leg surgery where they had to be on crutches for an extended period of time. Or even favoring the good leg too often. I had acl reconstruction on the left and afterwards I developed a lateral pelvic tilt (higher) on the right.
How did u cure this suffered the same..
@@HottieHottieHottie it’s better than it used to be for sure. Just got back into lifting and playing some basketball and what not.
@@camerongarcia6753 can I ask how did u cure ur lateral tilt? Thanks
Bro even I had a ACL surgery and now i am facing the same problem can you tell me how u fixed it please
Neal, I need this work. I have right pretty severe pelvic tilt. My rt side of body in mirror is higher than left. I’ve had Pilates, PT, MFR, stretches, a pain stimulator implanted lumbar spine. I have knife stabbing pain while walking. It has impacted my life big time. Pain is with walking and it’s only rt sided. It feels like dagger going through QL area. Rib cage, iliac crest, hip and knee pain. I’ve listened to your utube videos and you’ve described me. I’ve tried it all and it hasn’t worked. I daily stretch and try to strengthen. Please comment.
Anne Forsythe
I had spinal fusion in 1972 with bone, L 3,4,5.
I have a flat back with very little flexibility.
All I can advise is that you see a Postural Restoration certified PT to help.
My QL is painful, inflamed, feels tight when stretching it. I also have inflammation on the top of my hips and especially on my lower floating rib. All of this is worse on the right side. Can a tight QL pull on the lower floating rib so tightly as to cause it, or the tissue wrapped around the rib, to become very inflamed?
Hi Neal. Just discovering your videos. Very informative.
What is your view on dry needling around the right QL in a attempt to reset the muscles on the right ?
Thank you
You can certainly try. I don't think it will resolve anything long term, since I am talking about a neuro-muscular pattern that involves your entire body, not just the QL. The QL may be "holding" the pelvis into a tilt, and it may be painful, but it isn't the culprit. It's just a victim of a body that can't shift its center of mass over to the left.
Paul 1 I used dry needling for years and years and it never resolved the joint issue just helped my lower back and gluteus. ART worked
Deep Thoughts. Art?
I was walking and leaning to the left and my left ql turned on. I felt the left back rubs shift down in the first time in like forever. It’s like my center of gravity is off to the right and I don’t know
Definitely don't want to feel the left QL. It means you are in extension (left AIC pattern).
I don't know if my pain is caused by this or something else because I have similar symptoms to diabetes (neuropathy in feet) without actually having diabetes. Calves are constantly twitching and I get bad hip pain. I probably have nerve damage in my feet by now. I've been told my left back muscles were tight. However I've had pain down both legs. My shoulders are sore no matter how I sleep (can't sleep on my back because my lower left part of my back gets severely irritated). I've lost the ability to accurately report symptoms anymore because whatever this affliction is has screwed with my head so much and destroyed my life for over 4 years. I've been told by every doctor and specialist under the sun that there's nothing wrong with me. It's been so long I've had to write down everything I've tried because I'll forget most of it when someone asks. The fact that I can even work at all is a miracle.
God I'm just so tired and my body wants to die even if I don't want to. And I can't even see anyone because of this modern plague we're going through.
What kind of DR do I see to fix this ?
I have a high right hip, low right shoulder and my right thigh is more forward than my left thigh. Is that a left rotated pelvis?
It's the left AIC pattern, which is different than pelvis rotation/orientation. This video explains the situation
ruclips.net/video/HL4sclfUvWI/видео.html
I think I have Rt. Lateral pelvic tilt. I have super tight QL and psoas on the Rt. But... I have Lt CAM impingement and Lt Labrum tear in hip plus as an added bonus a thumb nail size of OA on my Lt femur. I am in my early 40s. I am trying to hold off on surgery until I'm at least 50. How can I fix this? It seems anytime my psoas and QL get super tight my hip starts acting up.
Wow. I have a twisted pelvis due to a year or so of not being able to walk properly on my left side due to a knee injury. As such my right side has been dominant and left become weak. I have strengthened my glute med significantly and largely fixed the imbalance, but the pain has still been present. Watching this made me realise that I never properly relax in left stance and allow my entire body to bear weight, probably due to the knee injury. Since, I have been conciously ensuring I am swaying to my left side, allowing my ribs and hips to get closer together and exhale and WOW the difference has been crazy, right sided lower back pain significantly reduced! Amazing video, thanks so much.
Wat exercise for glut3s ?
Did you do the glute med exercises on both sides?
Hi Neal ...I am really struggling with this.. I think I have had a problem since my teenage years..am now 53..my left side is higher than my right. Are you able to do a video for this? Thanks so much.
Adrian
Nothing really changes because the underlying patterns are the same. There might just be extra compensation going on. I'd advise to seek help from a Postural Restoration Institute credentialed provider.
@@NealHallinan thanks.. will look that u
Ok a demo would be good are there any links I could refer to?
My entire channel is about Postural Restoration. There is no one exercise that fits all.
My left side hip is higher ,my left side rib cage is going out side and my left shoulder is high as compare to my right shoulder. Also my left feet is pronating and i am facing pain in my left side of the neck.
I live in India there is no PRI therepist
Plz sir help me🙂
Did u fix
Hi Neal,
I believe I am in the left AIC pattern, my left side pelvic is higher and forward as expecte however my left shoulder is significantly lower then my right shoulder, is this normal ?
It's not the "norm" but it does happen. I've worked with many clients who have higher right shoulders. Mine still tends to be higher.
@@NealHallinan Would you recommend any particular PRI exercises to focus on for my situation ?
@@sheldon7240 what excercise you did?

@@NealHallinan try all exercies problem leg side? i am right?
My right hip seems higher, if I lift my knees to a 90 degree angle with my heels even on the ground my right knee is higher, my ribs seem to stick out on the left side and I'm having lower back pain on the left side, the left QL feels tight. Is this weird, would this fix help me? I originally hurt my back at the gym while doing barbell rows a few years ago... Thanks.
What you describe is perfectly normal in a lateral tilt. Your left rib flare is normal in the left AIC right BC pattern (there are videos about both patterns), and a left QL is almost always tight because of the anterior tilt of the left pelvis. The exercise demonstrated can definitely help, but most people will need more than one exercise. But this is a good one to start with.
ok, much thanks for the response. so if I'm doing the exercise with my feet on the wall, it is actually the right foot I lift off to use the left hamstring? I guess I'm just a little confused what actually means left and what right... :) can you recommend any other exercises/muscles I should work on?
Yes, you use the left foot/hamstring. You don't use the right leg. Using the right leg would reinforce the pattern we are trying to break.
@@jonne_koo i too have this problem.
Any suggestion for this
Interesting. I will try it out. Is massage or chiropractic treatment anything that would help to solve this issue? (in combination with the fix you mentioned in the video)
Honestly, I don't know much about chiropractic treatment. I am a massage therapist, however. Massage could help by inhibiting the overactive right QL, but since this is a neuro-muscular movement issue, if you don't teach your brain a new skill (moving into true left stance) it will have no reason to break it's pattern of right-sided overuse.
What is often not understood (and admittedly this is complicated in the beginning) is that this is a pattern of right sided overuse. The only way to stop right sided overuse is by re-establishing the pattern that it has lost: the left sided pattern (left stance). We need to have both a right sided pattern and a left sided pattern. If we only have the right sided pattern, we end up in pain.
@@NealHallinan I see. Thank you for the quick answear.
You fix seemed to work for me. We'll see if it lasts, but it has given me some new perspective on the issue.
God bless you!
@@TheKaurajuoma You're welcome. This is just one exercise. For some people that's all they need. Other people have more extensive patterning (especially in the upper body that contributes to the tilt) and need more exercises.
@@NealHallinan May I ask did you stretch as an addition to this fix? or did you only use this fix?
@@TheKaurajuoma I tried stretching, but nothing resolved.
Hi doc, I used to sit on a fat wallet under my right glute and used to workout in gym in a very bad form,i started having problem with my shoulder being uneven (right is a lil higher and backward and left is lower and forward). My left side of the body is stronger so have a lil more muscles on it. After searching a lot i figured out I have a lateral pelvis tilt with right hip smaller(i used to sit with a wallet on this) and left being high and more muscular. I see videos saying hips which are higher have glutas medius weak,but that part is a lot bigger than the left one. My chests are also in different shape and size bcs of it. I am literally very very depressed seeing that,whenever i wear any t shirt or pants,it feels weird,loose from one side and tight from the other. I will be grateful if you could help me out with this. I feel like I can never have a good body.please help.

Neal, had knee replacement 1 yr ago. Pain on my right side as you said exactly. Went to Chiro and he said my left leg is shorter than the right ( Knee Replaced). Wants to put a heel lift in my left shoe to correct pelvic tilt.. Your thoughts
Hello Vito. Does he think it's a "true" leg length discrepancy? For example, does he think you were born with it, or does he think it happened as a compensation for the position of your pelvis? It is quite common in the left AIC pattern (pelvis oriented to the right) for a left leg to appear "shorter" due to the position of the pelvis. When you reposition the pelvis into a neutral position, that difference goes away because the leg no longer has to compensate for the rightward oriented pelvis. If you do use a lift in your shoe, I think it's better to use a full insole, rather than just a heel life. If you only lift the heel, it could alter the natural biomechanics of the foot and cause unbalanced calf muscle activity. But that's just my thoughts in general without knowing the specifics of your case.
@@NealHallinan Neal, it was from the knee replacement. The Ortho Doc straitened my bowed leg thus making it about 1/4 to 1/2 in. shorter. The Doc said it should not effect my gate. Mywife always yells at me to stop tilting to the left. My left shoulder is down. The Chiro said what is happening is my hip is pushing up thus shortening the muscles connected to rib. When he puts his finger on my rib I can feel it. When I tilt to the right thus stretching that side in my golf swing, I really feel it. What can I do to bring it to a stable position? PS. I have been sleeping on my left side since the surgery. Perhaps this has an effect on my right side being all crunched up?
So if I have a right hip hike, does that mean that by leaning and standing on my left side, my right hip will go down?
No, because there is a pattern going on. Check out the videos about the left AIC and right BC patterns. It's a total body issue.
Neal Hallinan so you recommend trying to stand straight all the time and leaning on either side?
You saved my life.
I'm happy to hear that!
My pelvis is tilted to the right.
And it’s my left QL that’s bathering me ,when I do exercises leaning to the left.
I have a video about the left QL.
Thankyou 😊

In the side that pelvis is up(left) can be created in the foot high arch? And if can it be what can i do for that? I have tightness 4 years on my right side of sternocleidomastoid.

@@NealHallinan i don't have positive test on adduction drop test on both sides. Do you recommend to try also this pri exercises? Thanks
@@Athan.M I'm not sure what you are asking. Are you positive on one side? Positive means that the leg doesn't adduct.
@@NealHallinan both sides is negative in adduction test. Do you recommend to try pri exercise?
what if your left side is higher?
It doesn't matter which side is higher. The pelvis is always in a left AIC or PEC pattern.
Will anything change if my left leg is the dominant leg and when standing the body weight always tilts left when resting (the shorter leg) . it seems when i walk my right hip(longer leg)and weaker glute flare out to the right. Should i do the opposite on what you suggested? Thanks so much!
What if there is not a PRI therapist in your state? Can it be a Normal physical therapist?
A normal PT won't see it the same way I am explaining it.
SO if my pelvis is shifted to the right and I have a weak left QL, what do I workout?
Same
If you read the comments and watch the many videos Neal has to offer you will see exactly what you need to do. He has a series of exercises posted on his website pritrainer.com/pri-left-aic-right-bc-beginner-example-program/
My left QL seems to be permanently fired on. Meanwhile im hip hiked on right side and right shoulder drop. Right hamstring always turned on
Your left QL is "on" because of the anteriorly rotated left side of the pelvis. It puts your lower back into an extended state.
@@NealHallinan no i have more anterior pelic tilt on my right side... not left. Thats why its odd. My right hip flexor is super tight. Right adductor on.
Or maybe its my left erector spinae thats locked and im getting confused. Something is super locked on my lower left side anyway
Daniel Hackett was ur left side of ur back looking flatter than the right ? Strengthen ur psoas on that side and the right side stretch the psoas and stretch ur hamstrings. This helped me soooooooooo much and I hope it helps you. Also, do the Thomas test to figure out which psoas/hip flexor is tighter. Most likely, the right will be tighter than left.
Hi ! How do you strenghten the psoas ?
My situation at the moment with the pelvic tilt and scoliosis, is that my Right side of my back is bigger than the Left. Also, my Right Hip is higher than my Left Hip, but my Right Leg is longer than my Left Leg. Does anyone know about this problem and know how I can fix this? Been dealing with this problem for years now and I'm only 19. (btw, i used to be overweight as a kid and always stood on my left leg when I was standing in one position.)

After watching my body and my pelvis when I stand and letting my body loosen I noticed my letf side shifts automatically to the right side even I feel tension in my left leg when I walk I tried to correct my pelvis to the left with some exercises but the results are not good enough for me
After watching this video I focused on the basic idea which is shifting the weight from the left pelvis to the right pelvis (in my situation) and breathing and I really felt so much better within 5 minutes much better than all the exercises I have done
I felt my body relaxed fully and felt some bowl movement and gases to be released
I’m really so happy for this
I’m so grateful to you Neal 🙏
God bless you
The interesting and scary thing is that the QL refers pain, into the abdominal and RH Flank, and it also mimics appendicitis, which is well noted in Myofascial books.
Leading to a whole host if unnecessary examinations and not to mention pain.
As well as Gluteal pain and mimics sciatica.
Does anyone else have the same problem after having a ACL surgery or any knee surgery?
This video was informative however I’m still confused on how to fix this issue. Should I just keep standing on my left leg and breathe? I mean there has to be some type of exercise
There are, on his own website.

As a traditional massage therapist I can tell you- it takes more than one treatment combined with activating the dormant muscle tissues, relaxing the dominant tissues and resetting the nervous system for everthing to release and re- orient the entire body. It takes time and a therapist who knows where to start what to follow with and where to strenghten where and what to turn off plus deal with any pathologies that may be contributing to this issue.
In a nut shell this vid is correct.
I think that it is exactly the other way around: If you stand on your right leg, the left QL has to tense up more so than the right side and vice versa. This is also how it also works in my body. Also the way you illustrate how to walk/stand looks totally instable and unnatural. Am I the only one who thinks that way? Especially if you are somebody who walked around like this for years, I doubt that you can reverse this by simply fixing how you walk. There will be physical changes (fascia, ligaments etc) that are adapted. So you HAVE to stretch that tissue to allow a behavioral change to have effect.
How long can it take to fix rotated pelvis?
It depends on the person. A rotated pelvis is just a pelvis that is oriented in one direction (usually to the right). All PRI exercises are designed to fix that situation and orient the pelvis to the left.
Thank you very much. One more question please. I have lateral pelvic tilt due to short leg with right hip hike. My question is which side obliques and QL are weak?
@@80hardeep good question I'd be interested in knowing this also
Hii are you indian , Actually I am trying to find Indians who r suffering from postural issues and knows about pri and I want to make a community of it, as there is no one to about in India . Do u use insta?
Neal. Great video. I do think i am in Left AIC. However, whatever compensations I’ve used my left QL is always on fire. Any thoughts on relieving this? Of all the PRI exercises.
Of all the PRI exercises on this channel/website? Or in general. There are hundreds of PRI techniques. If the left QL is always on, it means you still don't have a left ZOA.
@@NealHallinan I meant on this channel. OR generally...what would you reco? I dont feel completely uncomfortable on left stance but when i get there the QL almost feels/acts like an anchor. Probably something i developed post injury through college football and hockey.
You had me at ribs! I dislocated two ribs and have had difficulty jogging since that happened. I dislocated two ribs on the left side and it has made my right leg feel longer and tight in the hips. I’m going to see if this helps. I miss jogging.
How'd it go?
Did he miss the fix part ?
So I'm guessing the how to fix it part is to actively breathing in with weight on the left with a big exhale? I'd that how you get a true left stance I saw fix in the title and you're right on about the issues just the process to fix is vague. Would be helpful if the video explained this a little clearer and also had suggestions of other of your videos to check for resolving issues through the chain from here.
I have this problem since 18 years due to gym exercise.
I have the same problem, I have been training for 3 years, do you think it gym?

@@farrukhhussain8211 thank you
Hello farrukh brother. Where you from. Please tell good chairopator in Bangladesh
Question about a PRI training. I think this could be the option I’ve been looking for.
I have lateral tilted hips (I believe it started after a car accident I had in adolescence but not positive), a “crunchy” left knee (I don’t know from what exactly, but it started within a year from the car accident), and a bad right ankle (happened a few years later from a sprained ankle and I never dealt with it 😬).
Would PRI practitioners deal with the knee and ankle issues as we work on the hip issue? They seem interconnected in that they could either cause or worsen the other.
Or do they need to be addressed separately? And if so, should one be addressed first?
I’ll clarify that it’s the left knee and right ankle. It appears the my right should is lower than my left, not sure if this indicates which side the hip tilt is.
Yes, everything is related. The underlying asymmetries are the same regardless of how you present visually.
Hello! I'm suffering from this lateral pelvic tilt for near about 9 years. I'm only 25 and I'm afraid that I may have to live the rest of my life like this. To be specific, I was athletic and used to play soccer earlier but now I have to stay in home mostly as the issues are increasing day by day. Glad that I found your videos. Is there any way to talk to you directly?
@Rangus yes I did. I myself studied about muscles and his videoes guided me through the positional informations regarding the exercises. I'm still working on it and halfway there. I guess I'll get neutral by the end of this year.
You almost have the same thing as I do. Hows ur progress
hey man did you ever fix it?
Any results?🙂
Yo we literally have the exact same story basically. I'm 26, have been suffering with this since I was 15 and also played soccer. Maybe somehow the sport is related? Anyway, did you fix the tilt?
I am also facing this issue
Hello, what causes lateral pelvic tilt anyway? I left my desk job because of this problem...
Thank you!
What I describe in the video is what causes a lateral pelvic tilt. Overactive muscles (usually a right QL or left psoas) that can't turn off due to the position of the pelvis.
You still have it, bro.
I still have what? The lateral pelvic tilt?
@@NealHallinan yeah.
Hi neal its soft tissue massage important To fix this issue or just doing the postural restrotion exercise?
The massage can help, but massage doesn't teach your brain anything. Postural Restoration teaches your brain to re-establish a lost movement pattern. Since our brain controls all movement, and a lateral tilt is the result of improper movement, we need to teach the brain a new skill, and that skill is to effectively transfer our weight to the left side of our body with the appropriate muscles.
Massage is good for helping reduce overall bodily tension, but it won't resolve a neuro-muscular movement problem, which is what a lateral pelvic tilt actually is.
@@NealHallinan thanks neal the adductor pull black help strengh the left adductor?
@@naima99 yes. It's an important exercise.
I was always told to release the overworking but then you have to retention the underworking muscles in order to make any neuroplastic changes. Knowing muscle sequencing and trying to self-diagnose for me is the difficult thing. Your videos are giving me some great focus with the idea behind ZOA.
Interesting
Hi Neil, can you explain what is the fix, i.e. are you ment to just stand on one leg or what? What's the practical fix? Thanks.
My whole RUclips channel is about what causes issues like lateral pelvic tilt: habitual patterned overuse of the right side of our body which PRI calls the "left AIC right BC pattern". There are many exercises utilized to "break the pattern", one of which is the 90/90 exercise that you can find all over youtube.
@@NealHallinan great,thank you. what about the facial assymtery you've mentioned in your other video, how did you achieve its alignment? i.e. what did you do exactly? coz I sense I got very similar issues like you've once had and managed to fix. thank you
@@davsss6406 same thing, PRI exercises made my face more symmetrical. We use Pterygoid and temporalis muscles to shift temporal and sphenoid bones. Those two bones are the cranial bones we have most control over via muscular contraction.
@@NealHallinan got it. Which PRI exercises did you use for face? Please share them if you can. I'd like to learn and try them on myself to fix the imbalances. Many thanks
Neal Hallinan I have this but on the left side. Same advice just opposite? And m right handed and right side dominant but it’s tilted on the left side. I think I may also have a posterior tilt.
Would this be a reason why my ribs are flared Doctor?
Yes, that is highly likely.
@@NealHallinan Whys that doctor?
and also can the rib flare be fixed as it has brought down my confidence
I need a better guide than at the end.. maybe more demonstration next time?
Let me try this 2 or 3 m a day for 2 week and then I told about u the results
how's going?
Not a perfect exercise
genius
