  I completely agree with this! I used to do glute/ab exercises and stretch my hip flexors in order to correct my APT. I thought my extreme APT was the reason for my jumpers knee (patella tendonitis), tight hip flexors, my inability to squeeze my glutes during certain movements, my stomach poke, my weak pelvic floor. It was not! My weak adductors and my inability to abduct the hip was the issue. I think that pectineus in particular (I think also a hip flexor) was the issue - it locked my pelvis in that forward tilt not allowing me to use my glutes properly. Thats why couch stretching, lunges and ab work didnt help. I think basketball, being a little pigeon toed and sitting cross legged destroyed my adductors. Now, I can do the full couch stretch (knee, foot, back and head against the wall) comfortably. <br>All from improving my ability to add/abduct the hip. <br>The breath work you did here was also a big help in order to strengthen my TVA or corset muscle. Thx for the info in the video!

  Thank you, Greg. I always like the exercises that encourage relaxing rather than exerting, the world needs more of them.

  Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You’ve done a great job explaining the possible root causes. In my experience, stress can certainly be a factor in exacerbating APT which is then doubled when bad move meant habits start to recruit the wrong muscles. Been working at this for a while and I believe muscle strength may be one small piece of the pie where relaxation, and proper muscle activation are equally valid keys. The exercises you demonstrated are reminiscent of PRI exercises to restore movement function.

  I will say that working on hip and gluteal strength helps level my tilt. I’ve seen significant improvement in my pelvic floor problems. I will note that strengthening my core and posture awareness in order to reduce my diastasis recti is probably what’s key to my improvements, which can also help with better glute and hip function; or maybe there is more than one action that addresses a tilt. Either way I think it’s all been helping me improve.

  How would chronic.shallow breathing contribute? From years of prescription xanax? Like I&apos;m 40 now and those started when i was like 20

  As interesting as this sounds, I think you&apos;re confusing cause and effect. You say muscular imbalances/weaknesses aren&apos;t the cause, but the contents of the belly being shifted forward. But that is an effect, not a cause. It happens for a reason. The reason for that are the weak muscles, because strong muscles would be able to keep those contents in place and not give in for everything to fall forward. <br><br>After an injury 2 years ago (I&apos;ve been working out for 15 years) I could observe my posture falling more and more apart. That injury was at the area of the sacrum (no fracture, just impact-trauma) which lead to pain in my sacrum, lower back and a part of the left glute, resulting in my body shutting down these muscles. As a result I went into an anterior pelvic tilt and then later into a swayback. I could reverse the latter and am now working on the anterior pelvic tilt. I have indeed a very tight right psoas that I could relief somewhat by stretching it a lot, and I also have underactive glutes which I am now training to use more in daily movements and exercises.

  Questi li chiamerei esercizi di propriocezione per chi ancora non ha minimamente idea del problema. Ma il rinforzo dei glutei è subito uno step successivo e imprescindibile se si vuole iniziare a rieducare il proprio corpo nella camminata
