Conclusion:
What to do next:

Content: to have good posture. By addressing the pelvis, you are giving your body the opportunity to adopt the best possible posture. If you find that you are developing pain and/or stiffness in your body after sitting all day, your sitting posture may be the root cause of it all! How do most people sit? If you are like the vast majority of people who slouch, you probably sit with your pelvis in position called a Posterior pelvic tilt. This is where the pelvis is tilted backwards (see above). This cause a domino effect of bad posture in the whole body! What is the ideal position of the pelvis? The pelvis should be in a neutral position. (…or in a slight degree of Anterior pelvic tilt /Forward tilt).
