Excessive Anterior Pelvic Tilt

Typically overactive / tight

No published muscle entries linked yet for this role.

Typically underactive / weak

Quick movement check

  1. Stand comfortably and note symptoms—not just appearance.
  2. Try a small squat or hip hinge without forcing the low back flat.
  3. Repeat with a slower exhale, a smaller range, or light hand support.
  4. Choose the variation that feels easier and more controlled.

Movement options

  • Breathing reset: lie or sit supported and take 3–5 slow breaths, allowing the ribs and abdomen to move without pushing the back into the floor.
  • Supported hip hinge: send the hips back toward a wall while keeping pressure balanced through the feet.
  • Bridge: lift the pelvis only as high as you can without pain, cramping, or breath holding.
  • Split-stance weight shift: shift forward and back gently while keeping both feet grounded and the trunk relaxed.

Reassess

Repeat the original squat, hinge, standing task, or walk. Keep the drill only if it improves comfort, confidence, or movement options.

What to look for

Observe the position during relaxed standing, a squat, and a hip hinge. Compare with a wider stance, heel support, slower breathing, or a smaller range. A visible tilt without pain or limitation may not need correction.
