Is Pelvic Tilt Correctable?

Content: If the legs bow in (valgus knee), the pelvis will rotate forward to compensate. Bowing out (varus knee) results in a backward rotation of the pelvis. Upper Body
Muscle laxity in the legs, hips, or abdomen leaves the body without proper core stabilization, so the joints compensate for the instability. A series of dysfunction takes place and crossed syndrome tilts the pelvis, freezes the hip joint, separates the pelvic bones from each other or jams them together, etc. Carrying a baby prenatally. The extra weight pulls the belly forward, the pelvis rotates anteriorly, etc. Poor sitting or standing posture. This can go both ways, too — poor posture causes pelvis to tilt and tilted pelvis causes poor posture. Slouching tends to posteriorly tilt the pelvis; sitting bolt upright tends to rotate the pelvis forward.
