Definitely ‘fixable’ although I think postural changes are much more about consciously putting yourself in your desired posture until it becomes the new normal rather than stretching or exercises. There’s probably some people with exquisitely mobile hips with a pelvis that’s anteriorly rotated at rest.dw wrote: ↑Wed Sep 14, 2022 8:26 am Anterior pelvic tilt: is it actually fixable?
Googling this turns up some claims that it can be fixed with certain stretches and exercises but I have not seen any before and after photos confirming it. I'm leaning to the shortened hip flexors theory but idk.
And fwiw I disagree with BBM's scientistic claim that it's not a thing. Whether it has any importance beyond aesthetics I don't know.
It’s like people who are slouched over. Unless they’re pretty old, the flexibility to stand up straight is already there, it just feels weird to do so since that’s not their muscles’ resting length. All they have to do is force themselves to sit/stand/walk around like that for a few weeks and job done. Same thing with your pelvis. If you can rotate it into the ‘correct’ position without doing a bunch of stretching, you’re already flexible enough. You just need to do the rewiring.
WRT to BBM, I don’t they’d disagree that it’s possible for a pelvis to be anteriorly rotated at rest (or posteriorly rotated or anything in between) but that the actual diagnosis of ‘Anterior Pelvic Tilt’ was just pulled out of somebodies ass, isn’t useful and may cause a bunch of people to worry about something they shouldn’t worry about.
