How to Fix a Rotated Pelvis.
Have you noticed that your pelvis is ALWAYS rotated? Maybe your belly button is off center or your pelvis just feels off.
Do you also get hip and back pain? If so, you might suspect that there is a connection between the position of your pelvis and the pain.
We can introduce exercises that bring proper balance back to the pelvis. In this article, I will share two of my favorite exercises.
What causes pelvis rotation?
The most obvious daily habit we want to think about is sitting. It’s not so much the sitting that’s the problem, but HOW we sit.
Because the pelvis can rotate in each plane of motion, your sitting posture will dictate how your pelvis will rotate. For example, a seated posture that has an arched low back will adopt more of a pelvis rotated forward position.
The Rotated Pelvis Fix
Below are two of my favorite exercises to bring the pelvis back into a more balanced position.
1. Standing Wall Twist
This exercise literally pulls your pelvis into a neutral position. The key is to pay attention to how each side feels.
2. All 4s
This is a great way to bring balance back to both sides of the body. Using the ground as a counter force, the body naturally enters into a more neutral and functional position.
Final Thoughts
I recommend performing the standing wall twist for 2 minutes per side and hold the all 4s position for 2 minutes total.
