Exercises To Fix An Anterior Pelvic Tilt

Squats In Proper Form

A squat is one of the key exercises for building up the gluteus muscle. These muscles along the buttocks and upper backs of the thighs help pull the pelvis slightly downward, so they keep it from tipping forward as much. However, if individuals do squats incorrectly, they can end up seriously hurting their joints. Therefore, it is important to learn how to do squats in the proper form. Individuals must start by standing with their feet about a hips width apart. While keeping their torso relatively straight, individuals must gently bend their legs like they are sitting down. They should try to get their thighs roughly parallel to the ground without allowing their calves to lean so far forward that their knees go in front of their toes. Individuals should pause for a moment like this, and then contract the buttock muscles as they push back into a standing position. Throughout the exercise, it's important to be sure to keep the heels flat on the floor and tuck the pelvis slightly inward instead of letting their hips push back.
