Content: Standing with bad posture
Constantly standing in a posterior pelvic tilt will only reinforce the bad posture. For example, people with a posterior pelvic tilt will often shift their hips forwards when bearing weight in their top half. Take for instance a mother holding a baby. Rather than standing up with a strong lower back, they may let their hips sway forward to compensate for the extra weight. Another example could be where someone leans forward with their belly on a counter-top to support their weight. Swayback and/or Posterior Pelvic Tilt
If you feel you have a posterior pelvic tilt, then it’s almost a certainty that you will fall into the category of having what is known as Swayback. Swayback is a type of posture where the person’s hips/pelvis will be swayed forward over their toes, rather than their hips being perfectly inline and stacked above their ankle. This swaying of the hips forward accompanies a posterior pelvic tilt in order for the body to maintain balance. This is why most people with a posterior pelvic tilt will have Swayback posture. It would be difficult for someone with a posterior pelvic tilt to not sway their hips forward as they will tend to lean backwards.
