@@p0calypse I haven‘t done the exercises very often as I discovered I got no APT, but it is more about having an upright posture using the right muscles, so you don’t compensate into APT. The erector spinae works as a global extensor of the spine, even though local extension might be needed.
That's great man.
Thanks

I put a foam roller right underneath the sacrum that helps me even more with tilting getting a neutral position
Perfect
Great video. Just subbed. For the yoga block in the vid, do you recommend a 3" thickness or 4"? Yours looks like a 3" and am wondering if that works better for the stretch since a smaller surface area? Thanks
@saintmichael753 thanks for the sub! I appreciate you Michale 😃 either is fine, I do like the firm cork blocks though.
Thank you

Thank you so much for sharing. If I have herniated discs in my neck, is it OK to do the last part when the feet goes over the head?
I wouldn't, too risky. There are much better lumbar stretches you can do
Thanks mate 🦘
you're welcome
Good advice expect the hamstring stretch, they’re under tension because of the tilt, not the other way around, abs and glutes need strengthening to counter that tension.
yeah I didn't mean to say hamstring, and I'm demonstrating a lower back stretch as I say it.
I know this isn't exactly your field, but i heard that atp can cause shoulder problems while pitching, which i have both. Your thoughts on this?
@@Fighters8-dp8fc definitely, it's all connected. That's why I take a holistic approach to fixing pain and imbalances.

Any rep/ sets recommendation? This doesn't seem to be like weight lifting where I'd go to failure
Thank you for this short, but what do you recommend to use as a "replacement" for the yoga block since I don't have one?
You're welcome. You can use a foam roller too
Ahh got some nice pops from this!
perfect :)
do you do all of these while consciously posteriorly tilting?
Yes indeed
How long did it take?
@@ShubhamGuptatheincidence for what? To see a change? Took me several months and I still have to stretch my hip flexors a lot
Nice, but camera horizontal format next time please.
@andre1987eph I've got so many landscape (horizontal) videos on my channel. This is a shirt and as such, is vertical.
How yoga block hip opener exercise helps in ATP? Will not it worsen the condition?
Can you explain in detail pls?
Certainly, I'd be happy to explain. The yoga block hip opener is designed to stretch your hip flexors, which are the muscles at the front of your hips that allow you to lift your knees and bend at the waist.
Anterior pelvic tilt (ATP) occurs when your hip flexors and lumbar extensors are tight and your abdominal and gluteal muscles are weak. This causes your pelvis to tilt forward, creating an exaggerated arch in your lower back.
The yoga block hip opener can help correct ATP by stretching and lengthening the hip flexors, thereby reducing the forward pull on the pelvis. However, it's important to remember that this exercise is just one part of the equation. You also need to strengthen your abdominals and glutes to support the pelvis in its neutral position and maintain the balance.
So, contrary to worsening the condition, the yoga block hip opener can indeed be a helpful exercise in addressing ATP when used in conjunction with exercises to strengthen the abdominals and glutes.
You did this everyday?
yes, for a while I did :)
once i eventually get it fixed should i keep doing it to maintain?
I do, but a lot less than I used to.
I'd recommend doing a more comprehensive program than this though. After you see an improvement I'd be adding in more upper body work and some squats.
I'm quite overweight. Does it make sense to try and correct this before I've lost weight?
I'd work on them both together. It's very important to do resistance training when trying to lose weight. If you only focus on weight loss via cardio and dieting, you will lose equal muscle mass to fat mass. So if you lose 20lbs, 10lbs will be muscle loss.
This is disastrous! And is the major cause for people rebounding and putting on all the weight they lost.
This is combated with resistance training. A good way to exercise for weight loss is full body HIIT circuits. So you do leg strength and upper body strength in the same workout. You'll be able to maintain muscle mass that way, and lose fat, without rebounding.
Avoid the trends and promises for fast fat loss, easy come easy go.
have you ever had APT, being this gym-type???
@gja822 yes, I have spodylolisthesis and as a result I also have APT
Before I start doing these things - if my lower back will be in pain when doing some of these exercises - is it okay and normal? Since just by looking at the last exercise that improves flexibility - I might feel a bit of pain in my lower back. I'm just curious so I don't make my APT worse.
Discomfort is OK, avoid pain.
@@UnityGymOnlinethank you very much!!
@@LevesqueHHH you're welcome. Just remember that this is a nice routine to get your first win, which is to feel less pain and be able to stand and move without such a pronounced APT.
After that (about 4 weeks) I recommend doing a more comprehensive program. If you need help, check out the UMS on my website.
hi... so u fixed ur APT... congrats👏but can u please tell me at which age u corrected this? bcoz I too have APT.. I m just asking to increase my hope to correct my APT.. bcoz I m trying to correct it for a long time.. but none works for me.. that's why asking... tq☺️

@@Farmaanali1208 depends on the cause and how severe the APT is. For me it's something I still manage.
But It's far less of an issue for me now.

no idea what that is sorry

Google it, then you can look in the mirror and check
How much time will take to make my APT right😊
Couldn't say. Depends on what the cause is. I have sponylolisthesis, so it will never be 100% neutral. But it's a lot better than it was before I did these exercises
Please tell me only plank is enough? 1 Min 3 set daily
Ah, no. I would have made a video saying to only plank if that was true.
does this help put your pelvis back into a neutral position, i’m unable to get my pelvis ina neutral position at all when standing and can only be either anterior (my default) or posterior
It helps definitely, but we also need regular strength training and to be aware if how to stand using our glutes

Giving the planking a go. I've had APT for over 10 years from gaming in highschool. I was aware of it maybe 6 years ago, and now with neck issues, knee issues, and lower back flare ups, I think this is a huge common denominator. Been gymming for 3+ years, on and off injuries in various places. A lot of my issues come from avoiding the heavy compound lifts, because of my lower back flare ups so I moved to machines, which don't hit the spinal erectors as effectively. I have next to no upper mid back. I have naturally high traps but they are only there due to cross over stimulation. Mid/lower traps are there, lower erectors are there too lol.
I'm not interested in doing glute bridges because my glutes always seem to be stimulated due to leg press.... but I might have to stop being a lazy POS and do them just cause.
How long did it take for you to correct your anterior pelvic tilt? And did you supplement planking with any other ab work? Is it better to aim for lower as opposed to upper? I have virtually no d*ckroot as Joe Rogan calls it, and weak abs all around. Otherwise, I'm in decent shape. I want to get in to deadlifts and my lower back screams at me every time I do them.
Any update?
@@hsueso I'm still working on making it habitual seeing as I'm 2 weeks in. However the planks seem to be underrated. Engaging the glutes, and the core help a lot to build that mind muscle connection and also to get an idea of the posture you want to move towards. It also engages the serratus anterior which will help stabilise the shoulder and prevent shoulder impingement, so that's cool and relevant to me personally.
I don't do glute bridges as yet, but I have started doing squats, to which my glutes do fatigue before anything else.
I don't know what the future holds but all I can do is build up some size in these areas, because other problems with my knees, and even a possible self diagnosed inguinal hernia, are exposing my weak points. I am working on a lot of things at once.
But weak glutes and abdominals seem to be the common denominator here.
Any update?
I think I see the end game here
good stuff, get after it!

@@alisandyabinader2917 😃
I presume a foam roller would do the same job for this?
Yeah a firm one will do it
Can I really fix anterior pelvic tilt at home
Absolutely, you can work on correcting anterior pelvic tilt at home! The exercises in this video are specifically designed to target the key muscle groups involved in anterior pelvic tilt. They will help you strengthen your abs and glutes, stretch your hip flexors, and release tension in your lower back.
By doing these exercises consistently, you'll not only work to correct the tilt but also improve your overall posture, alleviate lower back pain, and enhance your mobility.
Just remember, consistency is key. Make these exercises a regular part of your routine and give your body the time it needs to adjust and strengthen. As always, if you have any significant pain or symptoms, it's a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional. Keep me updated with your progress! 💪😊

Thanks for commenting
None of this will get rid of your anterior pelvic tilt but nice try. Why dont you show a before and after pic of it veing fixed.
Why do you say that? What's your experience with APT?
@@UnityGymOnline it's an orientation issue that can only be addressed by activation of certain muscles and inhibition of others, you can't stretch your way out of it. Also, the glute bridge exercise may activate the glutes, but it only activates them within the pattern that your body is orientated to. It's a dysfunctional pattern that creates this pattern. APT can also be a position exist due dysfunctions further up or down the chain, away from the hips. It's way more nuanced than just prescribing these very simple exercises that rarely even scratch the surface of the cause of APT. Proper assessments to look at muscle activity and body positioning is needed to further evaluate what is needed for exercise prescription.
What'd you answer to that, @UnityGymOnline?
@@mmayojr "it's an orientation issue that can only be addressed by activation of certain muscles and inhibition of others" what do you think these exercises are?
Activation of glutes and abs, and stretching the hip flexors and lumbar extensors is best practice for dealing with APT.
As a coach, we need to give people bite size pieces of info that is actionable and will produce a result.
Considering I've been a coach for 25 years and dealt with APT myself, I have sound knowledge of it.
What do you know about proper assessment? What's your education that relates to APT? Have you treated APT in yourself? Have you treated APT in any clients?
@@jknvorneb just responded then.

@@UnityGymOnline any moves to strengthen the transverse abdominis muscle or fascia?
@@realstreetcatslife5015 be careful, trying to target the TVA is an over rated way to train. The TVA is very active in squatting, deadlifting, plank and many other strength exercises that SHOULD be prioritized over silly TVA activation exercises.

What do you mean anterior pelvic tilt, and what do you mean fix?
google anterior pelvic tilt
Is it possible to correct apt in a few months?
So I have spondylolisthesis in L4 L5 and that's the main cause of my apt. That's not going away.
But the apt causes my hip flexors and lumbar extensors to be super tight and my glutes and abs to be under active.
AND if I work on all that just like I describe on this video, it reduces the severity of my apt, allows me to stand and walk with more of a neutral pelvis.
Although I always have to think about it a little.
So I think the focus should be less on how quickly you can fix it and more on how well you manage it.
For me, it's the workouts I do every week that help me manage it.
@@UnityGymOnline how far in was you when you started seeing results, im about a week in now
@@Sir_Dingo immediately, you get an immediate result when you train properly. But there's things you need to do daily to maintain it, and there's things you do weekly.
