can an inversion table help correct anterior pelvic tilt?
I have anterior pelvic tilt. Until recently I was un aware. I have started doing exercises to strengthen my glutes and core as well as stretches to open up my hips more. Would an inversion table help me solve my problem as well? what other exercises or apparatus can help?
Gabe, an inversion table will help but you are going to have to strengthen specific muscles to bring the pelvis into a neutral position. The muscles that have to be strengthened include the gluteus maximus, hamstrings, abdominals, and surprisingly the hip flexors. I would suggest that you see a physical therapist to get help with this problem. Stretching is not going to be the answer as when you stretch the muscles you are elongating them and not strengthening them. You can do program such as yoga and Pilate’s to help you with this problem. You must become very aware of you posture. I am also sure that you have an increase lumbar lordosis (curve in the back ) and most likely rounded shoulders, a forward head position. This usually comes with a poor self image. So start thinking better of yourself and watch your posture. Think tall!
