Thanks again blank, I think ive nailed my issue, this (Anterior pelvic tilt) is me to a T, just thought Id share it for any of the fellas who might need it.
(If you know about the above please stop reading nothing ground breaking here.)
@Leigh if like me you sit down to work this MIGHT be you too. Ive always thought I had a strong lower back and tight hip flexors (have to stretch them between squat sets) and my abs are defo elongated, I got that ET belly with not a huge amount of fat normally (bit there now since Ive been licking my wounds and going slow since the injury)
There's another vid which explains it different and uses the "Lower cross" here is the diagram.
So as you can see the lower back and hop flexors are tight and the abs and glutes are weak which results in the trainee/patient whatever walking like a duck with their ass out and belly out and they tend to waddle a little as you see many PLifters do.
The opposite (Posterior pelvic tilt) is someone who walks with their ass tucked under the hips and slouching forward.
Heres a better explanation, plus the opposite and lateral tilt conditions.
- Anterior pelvic tilt is when the front of the pelvis drops and the back of the pelvis rises. This happens when the hip flexors shorten and the hip extensors lengthen.
- Posterior pelvic tilt is the opposite, when the front of the pelvis rises and the back of the pelvis drops. This happens when the hip flexors lengthen and the hip extensors shorten, particularly the gluteus maximus which is the primary hyperextensor of the hip.
- Lateral pelvic tilt describes tilting toward either right or left and is associated with scoliosis or people who have legs of different length. It can also happen when one leg is bent while the other remains straight, in that case the bent side's hip can follow the femur as knee lowers towards the ground.
Ill come back with the cures once Ive got my head around it and tested them to see if Ive got it right.
Anyway I hope this helps someone someday, pretty pumped that I might have worked this problem out.
Good luck.
