@silverbacker1,
I don’t necessarily disagree. I do agree that the more? vertical fibers are capable of drawing the pelvis into posterior tilt, but I find this as rare as the posterior pelvic tilt itself.

I can? understand the Illiacus inducing anterior pelvic tilt, but the the psoas would be posterior.
We’ll agree to disagree . . . as long as the patients see results . . .

@silverbacker1,
There have been many arguments about what the psoas does to posture. It brings the lumbar spine closer? to the insertion on the femur and will induce anterior pelvic tilt. If unilaterally, it will cause rotation too. Testing hundreds of back pain patients has me convinced.

if the psoas is a hip flexor, then “too much tension in the muscle” would? create posterior pelvic tilt.

THANKS! this really helped, i’m only 19? and my lower back has started hurting lately.. a constant dull pain. i work out every day (for a competitive sport) and am SURE i have a muscle imbalance, as my hamstrings, butt and lower back are all stronger than my abdominals, hip flexors, and basically every muscle on the front of my core. I also tilt my pelvis..
i’m working on fixing it because for my sport, balance is key, but i wasnt sure which stabilizer was behind the connection. thanks again!

I have lower back pain and? intense sciatica from posterior pelvic tilt and the resulting “flat-back” syndrome. Is there any advice from you or anyone that knows? EVERY part of my day is focused around minimizing the constant pain that I’ve endured for more than a year.
Thanks

@Afghanekhar,
This is beyond the scope of a video, and? frankly why I created a DVD set on this topic. The whole DVD set is just about the basic corrections for pelvic tilt. Beyond that, there is much more to do!

How about advice on how to correct these muscle imbalances? I? have lower back pain + tight hamstring and IT Band syndrome. I think these are related to some muscle imbalances that I wish to correct.
