My feeling is: training the right muscles is often not enough. You can have strong abs and glutes and flexible hip flexors etc and still walk in a weird way and with anterior pelvic tilt. You have to learn the right coordination, you have to learn using these muscles in the right way. And this you can do only by practicing walking. So I think, the most time it will not be possible to skip the "mentally focusing on doing this" - part. In my opinion, it's the most important part, until it gets subconscious and automatic.
I developed APT after a number of abdominal surgeries (culminating in a total hysterectomy) that weakened my lower abdominal muscles. I walked with the tilt but also leaning forward from my hips because I'd lost flexibility. Thanks for posting these videos -- they've helped mitigate lower back and quad/hip flexor pain and stiffness.
Josh and Matt, your guidance saved me from being crippled. I can go on long walks again after following your advice for a few months already, and will keep at it. Much gratitude 🙏 you both make the world a better place 🙏🙏
Love it!! This must be why I feel a pull in my right lower glute where my hammie ties in when I walk. And my lower back just gets fatigued. Love the demonstration!!
I never realised i had APT until i saw an MRI of my spine. So bad my tailbone/sacrum is almost horizontal!!!!. Now the massive undertaking to correct it....
I noticed that posture today when fixing my mackerel for dinner 🥘. It’s weird because something came to my mind out of alignment. My buttock was slightly inappropriate arch. I tried straightening myself back. There’s some comfort in the arch for some reason and I didn’t want the arch. I still focused on my mackerel and continue put myself into comfortable position not buttock one inappropriately. Thank you for sharing and I appreciate about the walk. 👏🏽. 🙏🏽📖😇
Awesome video! thank you for the quality content guys,so hard to find now on UA-cam...definitely will take these tips towards helping my clients during training (:
@@fahianmiah3489 hello. Its been more than a year that I watched this video. In this time,I went to the doctor and hit the gym. Now I dont have anymore problems
@@raindropsroses1088 yeah Man,almost. But have in mind,our coolumn is like a paper,once was folded,will never be the same. Unless you train really hard,then maybe you can solve this problem for all
Hi Joao,happy to see your message,it boost my confidence level and can u clarify me these exercises are enough to correct apt,because its difficult for me to join gym or consulting doctor about this,sorry for my english
So my question is I’m a mail carrier and I walk upwards of 20 miles a day. Carrying mail in my hands and arms so I have to constantly look up and down as I’m walking which makes pelvic tilt much easier to happen. Any tips on this?
it's still weird to me how josh from strength side used to be a side character in upright health and then created his own youtube channel that was basically about the same stuff, but became even more popular than the original show. i feel like there's some hidden backstory here.
Curious as to what would be recommended for someone who's pelvis is so tilted that they can only get pain relief by staying in bed? Muscles in the Lumbar region being pulled so tight from APT causes extreme curve and pain standing or sitting.
Hey Larnexea try YouTubing self myofascial release on hip flexors. When you do self myofascial release such as foam rolling on the hip flexor muscles, your body will align the hip by itself. In other words your hip will be back to neutral position. This will definitely minimize low back pain and hip pain. Hope this helps. Nice connecting with you btw :)
I'm so glad I've found you again. You were the only one that knew the very real cause of anterior hip tilt long time ago. My daughter has weak hip flexor I'm sure, the other proteins, physical trainer, etc yjust want to stretch those very weak muscles. It never made sense to me. After searching and praying God lead me to you, an unassuming person that don't brag with the right answer. My God bless you and all your loved ones. I dont like to write but just felt the need to, just to thank you and hoping other people been lead to your videos about anterior hip tilt. Maybe there are more people now that knows this but I just remember you. Thanks
Hi, thank you for the video. I was born prematurely and I have a rotated pelvis. I am not sure if it is lateral or anterior. It looks like my left leg is a bit longer. It is not really, but it just appears to be longer. For e, it is tremendously difficult to get downstairs and I feel insecure without holding onto something. What exercises should I be doing to correct this? Thank you very much in advance.
Hi I have exactly same problems. But I only accepted it and started trying to fix them when I was 40 years old. It's very difficult to fix but not impossible and I'm making miraculous improvements. One thing I advise is mixed with APT you probably also have Latetal Pelvic Tilt which is what makes it seem like your one leg is longer. You will need to deal with this in parallel to dealing with APT
Another advise is if you are doing some intensive working out (like weight lifting) you should stop doing it until you sort out your postural problems. Check also channel PRI-TRAINER who specializes in our problem. Contact me if you feel like I might give you more help.
Had a twist in the neck - made a muscle in top left part of neck stiff - gives a headache from back of head, over the top and into my left eye. Related pain between shoulder blades in middle of 2 joints, shooting into left shoulder and down to elbow/wrist on back side of arm. Any fixes would be most welcome ;)
Hey Benjamin, not sure if you're still hurting. But the pain you're feeling depends on your posture. Your posture tells the story of how you got the pain. I would recommend you see the manuel therapist but make sure you ask to check your posture. Hope this helps. Nice connecting with you btw :)
Hey iamjason if you do have an anterior pelvic tilt, try YouTubing self myofascial release on hip flexors. Find a video that works out for you. I would go for the one with someone teaching the foam roll or lacrosse ball. This will minimize your back and hip pain. Hope this helps. Nice connecting with you btw :)
You guys are awesome. It felt like I was the only one with having the issues you addressed but now that I know I'm not the only one I feel somewhat relieved.
Good video thanks for posting however I still have a query? Can you guys explain what actually causes the tight calves and hamstrings and stiff lower back and hip pain when walking? I get that it’s known as anterior pelvic tilt, and I get that that’s usually due to the abovementioned conditions, but what actually, biomechanically causes it? Personally, I find there’s this chicken Vs egg dilemma. Like, which comes first, all that stuff leading to APT? Or is it APT leading to all of that? And either way, what causes either one? Also, has a person with this problem just always walked like this (without using the core and buttocks)? Or has something changed or have they adopted a bad habit and begun to walk like this over time? A clarification would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
@@jwr3289 me too I realize. I thought it was my L5/s1,from pregnancy, but then I had SCIATICA giving me big inflammations, only one thing it was my piraformus that my nerves are sensitive then later knee pain then stiffness, hip bursitis. I keep researching for solution .recently few weeks ago watching different videos I found out it is ACTUALLY my SOAS AREA.I KEEP DOING STRETCHING HIP ,LEG BUT MORE FOR MY BACK AND PELVIS. IT GOT SO CLEAR I SLOWLY TRY SQUATS AND LUNGING ,then I realized that area that hurts most is same place during my delivery, that bone area BETWEEN the butt chicks. Now I walk with a cane which I want to avoid but my recovery is so long .need the proper trainer for better alignment and COORDINATION. These videos are superb.
Hey spacemansabs try doing self myofascial release on the hip flexors. I would UA-cam foam roll or lacrosse ball on adductors. When you do these rehab exercise, this will align your hips and your adductors should loosen up and you don't have to keep engaging your abs. Your body is smart enough to bring your hip to neutral after you do self myofascial release on the hip flexors. Hope this helps. Nice connecting with you btw :)
Hey JayNaps try doing self myfascial release such as lacrosse ball on the biceps, triceps, and your forearm muscles. This should minimize the wrist pain. Hope this helps. Nice connecting with you btw :)
I've been practicing turning on my butt too. I do it by just constantly tightening it as often as I can. every time i stand I tighten both abs and butt muscles as tight as I can. eventually I hope it becomes natural and I don't have to think about it.
TheMathiasxxb way better!!! It doesn't take much time at all. Only things I had to change was the walking/standing/laying using more butt muscles and little ab work. I do about 15 minutes of abs once or twice a week(I'm lazy with abs)!! It doesn't take much at all to fix this problem! My back feels amazing and I have more confidence knowing I don't look like a fucking duck when I'm standing and walking.
TheMathiasxxb something you'll notice is that your butt will be sore because it's not used to being worked as much. Same with abs but that goes without saying.
Hey Avin try doing self myofascial release such as foam rolling on your quadriceps and TFL muscle. When you do self myofascial release on these two muscles, this will get you hips to be neutral and you don't have to flex the ab and glutes while walking. The body is smart enough to fix its own after the self myofascial release. However you can still flex the ab and glutes if you want after the self myofascial release. Hope this helps. Nice connecting with you btw :)
so... here's the problem with PT type folks making this highly viewed videos.... NOBODY knows, or cares to know the scientific verbage... like something as simple as the word extension.... in the context of this video... I don't have a freakin clue what you meant by that. I'm not asking for you to dumb it down... just stop using PT talk... We all know you have credentials... instead go with... looks like this, do that... blah blah blah... Just sayin!
Set the playing speed 1.5x, thank me later
i say go full blast to 2 . you can still understand him

Oh yeah

I have a APT. I would love to see your videos
2:18 no one walks like that
Some people are just very whit
Just realised this is strength side
Lighter colored or contrasting colored clothes would have made it better to see the postures and movement.
Awesome video! thank you for the quality content guys,so hard to find now on UA-cam...definitely will take these tips towards helping my clients during training (:
My APT is so big that I cannot move my pelvis and put It in the right position
Put pillow under ur knees it will help

Just subscribed to your channel today and you got great content. Love it so far.
Should the hips rotate at all when walking? Externally or internally? Or should they just remain neutral in that plan?
it's still weird to me how josh from strength side used to be a side character in upright health and then created his own youtube channel that was basically about the same stuff, but became even more popular than the original show. i feel like there's some hidden backstory here.
Yep! I wonder about this backstory all the time. I wanna know what happened!
I fixed it, but now my back hurts. Had an injury there a couple years ago. It stopped hurting, but then my knees started to hurt

@Larnexea , how do you feel now about the APT?
How much time does it take to fix APT?
AcenGee 5 ages
About 2-3 months ( way to much time in my opinion) if you're commited.
Really good video simply explained
My lumbar region pops everytime i do a dead bug, should i do dead bugs nonetheless or continue with a different excercise. I hope you'll reply.
Lol i got the same thing it s painless so i continue exercising
My pelvic is twisted. Like my right side is protruding to the front more than the left. What could I do to train that to stop?
Chiropractor
Single Leg Stances after going through a pelvic reset through 90-90 breathing and adductor positions
I was in a wheelchair for 3 years and I walk bent over now, any more ideas that would help?
gym. deadlifts, squats 👍🏽
I gotchu.

Check for functional or structural leg length discrepancies just in case
Tight psoas I believe is what has caused mine, overriding the antagonist musle the glutes and stopping them from firing
