Anterior pelvic tilt is when the pelvis sits in a more forward-rotated position, often creating a more pronounced curve through the low back.
And while some degree of anterior tilt is completely normal, prolonged positioning or limited ability to move out of that position can change how the muscles around your pelvis, hips and low back share the load.
You may notice:
• Low-back tightness or aching
• Hip flexor tightness
• Glute or hamstring tension
• A feeling of stiffness through the hips
• Difficulty fully engaging your core or glutes
• Discomfort after prolonged sitting or standing
• Reduced hip mobility
But here’s the important part: anterior pelvic tilt doesn’t automatically mean something is wrong. Posture alone doesn’t tell us whether someone will have pain. We look at the whole picture — movement, strength, mobility, breathing, habits and symptoms.
Massage can help reduce muscular tension and improve how tissues move, particularly around the low back, glutes, hips and hip flexors. Bowen takes a different approach, using gentle, specific moves through muscles, fascia and connective tissue.
The goal isn’t a perfectly positioned pelvis.
It’s a pelvis that can move, adapt and share the workload well.
If your hips or low back have been feeling tight, restricted or just off, that’s worth paying attention to — not because your posture is to blame, but because your body may be asking for a little more movement and support, and that’s something I can help you with.
