What really helped me was doing planks but with as much posterior pelvic tilt as possible! Also hanging from a bar with hips and knees at 90/90 and then posterior pelvic tilt and dig forward with your Heels so you will feel a big stretch in the low back, breathing: let all the air out with the outbreath and then breath into the lower back
@@Ali-jq1fd Look Up pri (postural Restoration Institute) they have it figured Out, although you propably need to find a Provider who can Analyse your Problem through objektive table Test. Nontheless there are also many Videos and ig Accounts that provide information on it 👍
THIS is the most important video on the internet!!!! I wish I had seen it and all your other videos when I was in high school because forcing myself into anterior pelvic tilt all day at school for "good posture" actually messed me up and now I'm having to retrain my muscles, which is a challenge in and of itself when you _also_ have terrible hip mobility because of APT (T-T)
I love your video! I am one of those people who were told throughout my entire life to have an S curve by doctors, chiropractors, and especially physical therapists. Couldn't figure out why my lower back was always hurting....especially when sitting. By just RELAXING, and still standing Or sitting, makes all the difference in the world. By practicing and doing right exercises can make a Lifelong Habit disappear. Can't thank you enough for getting me to RELAX. I'm 75.. about time.🤗
OMG - finally. I am watching and 'sharing' you since a long while. Your posterior tilt philosophy and tutorials are the almost only correct ones especially pointed out in great correct detail. So often totally overlooked anywhere else. I am waiting for years to get professionals to pick up on this in more detail like you do. Not only when you exercise do you push the spine into the floor. Also when you stand; sit; walk; run; ski; stepping into your car; and even brushing your teeth!!! We do NOT have this modern S-Curve modern textbooks who. Look up old textbooks which do show you the correct spinal curve. We only have a dip like curve on top of the sacrum - and if we have no angle in the Sacrum (like I am one) we have almost no curve at all. But every help I gotten for years from the best even; made me one. Until I pierced it out on myself (now a structural BodyWorker) and my pains finally totally left me by age 55.
Thank you for the reminders and new ideas! I’ve been an incomplete paraplegic for 5 years and only recently over the last year or so have I started working on APT.
Wow! Ive watched a lot of videos about this but this is the first one I didnt skip and even finished it! I love how you explained everything no BS and straight to the point. Thank you!
This is a great explanation. Would you please explain how does the APT affect the thoracic spine - would it lead to reducing of the curvature there? Also, a broader video explaining its impact on the muscles connected to the knee?
Enjoyed the video. I thought it was strange how I'd hear excessive anterior pelvic tilt is bad for so many things and can cause tons of problems in everyday life or weightlifting... yet people would recommend these cushions that accentuate APT for hours on end.. it didn't seem logical.
Great, thanks ! just wanted to know how to position back and pelvis whilst sitting on a chair 🪑during meetings etc , I tend the get stuck in APT whist standing up and it’s so painful ! Any advice ? Thanks 🤩
I get a lot of hip pain trying to push my pelvis forward. Its like im forcing it to almost posterior tilt. I flex my belly and butt. Cant hold it for long. Sitting, liftin of walking i cet lower back pain from forcing my pelvis to be straight.
Hi Matt! Found your videos last week and I have a question. What can I do if I have a anterior tilt, lateral tilt (high right hip), and forward rotated (right) hip? Feels like every thing is completely misaligned. I have been doing stretches and contraction exercises for a couple weeks and the pain is much lower than it was, and my anterior tilt is subsiding, but my right hip still seems to be high and protruding forward. At times I still feel pain around the right side of the SI. I am going to look for a physical therapist to go to this week but would like to know what your thoughts are before I go. Thank you for time, Justin
@@reggiecannon623 ive been stretching and strengthing my hamstrings, quads, abductors, psoas, piriformis, everyday. have been seeing a corrective massage therapist (like a chiropractor but slower process). my hips feel MUCH better. only issue remaining is that my si rotates and i have to do a self adjustment a few times a day. I believe the biggest help was strengthening my hamstrings, that was the “breakthrough” for my issues
@@J.13333 I've heard about the corrective massage therapist.. i am going to look into that cause my God do my hips hurt lol . I feel like every time i try to "self adjust" I'm doing a lot of twisting, kicking my legs out to the side while holding my hip in place to get that "pop" . Meanwhile that gives me relief for about 5 minutes before I'm twisting and turning again. But u had almost the same condition i have, One cheek lifts higher than another . So im def going to do more of what u suggested, hopefully that does the trick
@@reggiecannon623 one last piece of advice is to start slowly on the exercising. dont push too hard if there is impingement, build your strength slowly but consistently. also matt’s videos are a gold mine for new exercises, has been more useful than physical therapy that i underwent
I love the idea that it's okay to roll the pelvis under when you have APT! I think we're always hearing about how "bad" it is to tuck the tail, but it's definitely different when you have APT. What do you think about kneeling chairs?
What do you think of active sitting chairs, such as the QOR360 chair? I got one because I need so much help with my back both when sitting and standing (well, basically, when existing lol). But my ab muscles are so weak that I couldn't tolerate it for long. I wish I could, because it seems like a great chair! But now that I realized I have APT, I can see why it would require a lot of attention to how I'm sitting.
Now can you help me? I have scoliosis which i believe led to anterior pelvic tilt and piriformis syndrome. I do slouch a lot but sometimes i cant especially if im doing nails at my desk, i usually have to lean forward in a way my back is straight so i dont crush my shoulders too much. Im a mess, im starting to do stretches when i can.

does that mean drving your hips down or up

Me too, but I also have EDS, so extra messed up now.

Wow that is incredible!
Thank you for the reminders and new ideas! I’ve been an incomplete paraplegic for 5 years and only recently over the last year or so have I started working on APT.
I could listen to you talk for hours, you have a very nice and calm talking voice. Thank you for the video!
I don't even have APT, I just find Matt so relaxing to listen to
You're funny
L.m.a.o

You're right. Every single chair I have always artificially introduces that back curve. I found tucking my butt in helps a bit.
Currently working your healthy hips program. Thank you! And yes, progress isn’t linear, but it’s happening!
AWESOME!!!!
Any update?
Yea! You’re back on TY. Thanks for this video 😊
You are so welcome!

Can sitting in posterior pelvic tilt help anterior pelvic tilt? When I sit in posterior pelvic tilt, my back pain goes away
I’m fascinated by the trousers and shorts you are wearing that allow you to stretch. Clothes and shoes are a major in restricting movement!
Glad to see you back!
Great, thanks ! just wanted to know how to position back and pelvis whilst sitting on a chair 🪑during meetings etc , I tend the get stuck in APT whist standing up and it’s so painful !
Any advice ? Thanks 🤩
Are there any specific chairs that improve posture and prevent anterior pelvic tilt?
The "dance break" was awesome. 🤣
😊 great vid so well explained ,I've subscribed!
Hi Matt, please can you do a video on resolving lower crossed syndrome, especially if this is only on one side which is what I have? Thanks very much.
I get a lot of hip pain trying to push my pelvis forward. Its like im forcing it to almost posterior tilt. I flex my belly and butt. Cant hold it for long. Sitting, liftin of walking i cet lower back pain from forcing my pelvis to be straight.
Great video!
Thanks! Great tips!
Cool thanks bro. It makes a lot of sense.
So we should actually slouch on purpose just for the sake of changing position?
Do these exercises and sitting tips work for posteria pelvis tilt too? And how do you know if it is PPT or APT please?
Yay! You are up & running!
Having a apt& when you sit down, are we supposed to let our Lower Back touch the chair?

Any luck since? Have u tried chiropractic adjustments or acupuncture?

What about if you drive for long hours?
YAY Glad you're back!! Did youtube reach out to you or did your channel just start working without response from them?

I love this. Thank you!
Does running strengthen the hip flexors and hamstrings for fixing APT or does it make it worse?
is using an inversion table helpful if you have tight hip flexors and pelvic rotation issues?
Great video thanks
What do you think about kneeling chairs?
I'd like to know too
🍊 *1:39** This part is hilarious!!!* 🍊🤣🤣

I'm actually testing a qor360 as I type. :-) Will share thoughts in a future video!
@@Uprighthealth Oh that is too funny! I'll look out for the video. :-)
@@janetbeatrice9505 it may be funny but def not too funny.
2:50
It's ironic because I find the weirdest positions the most comforting. Which doesn't help me if I'm not exercising already.
Do sit ups affect ur anterior pelvic tilt
What if ur at school
Thanks man!
You bet!
No exercise in 10 minutees video? Title is misleading about How to Fix?
Reminds me of the family guy cut away where peter said he forgot how to sit down
Now can you help me? I have scoliosis which i believe led to anterior pelvic tilt and piriformis syndrome. I do slouch a lot but sometimes i cant especially if im doing nails at my desk, i usually have to lean forward in a way my back is straight so i dont crush my shoulders too much.

Consistency is key. It can take awhile to have breakthroughs.
3:13 my back is so dead at the end of the day i naturally goes into this position... People look at me in the office
Pain does suck! Really, I know
My hips hurt more than my lower back
floor workstation in office :)
can you talk to my boss about a 5 min break every 25 mins
Standing in place makes my back worse.
How do you adjust your sitting position throughout the day?

Do you stay in this potion every moment
"ATM" I think i watch too much porn.
Relevant how?
This is all incorrect. APT occurs deeper and lower. Actually having an arch in your lower back is natural and healthy.
This video does nothing
