Hi, i have anterior pelvic tilt since 5 years ago and struggled 3+ years - but not constantly max. 2months of regular exercising - tring to fix it but nothing
- I feel apt has a big impact on my pe because it's tensing my pelvic floor
-I did all the exercises i found on youtube and the net that basically say : stretch psoas and quads and strength your abs and glutes nothing worked even went to a physio i had a very slight improvement and later it got worse I try to work on posture but nothing just nothing worked
If someone managed to fix his apt and did something that i didn't mentioned please feel free to answer me
Thank you

Biggest impact to APT is the hipflexor and you can't rush that stretch. But if you've been doing it for 2 months without progress then you've not been doing it right.

The above is the stretch i use, and it takes a good two minutes to simply get any depth in that stretch (each side) and i've been stretching regularly, for you it may take far longerLast edited by Dangler; 02-23-2020 at 10:53 AM. Reason: embedded photo

Firstly, you need to make sure you have APT. Many people have other posture problems and mistakenly think they have ATP. Sway back, kyphosis, rounded shoulder posture etc. all make the position of the pelvis changed and also create the deformation of the spine. Fixing many of these could be quite different.
However, for APT, in addition to training your muscles, you need to activate them as wel and be sure you are using them in everyday life as well, in particular you lower abdomens, your transverse abdominos system and your glute medius and piriformis. Do not forget your neck as well, a forward head posture can reduce the speed of your improvements.
There are tones of videos on you tube which explains how to activate different muscles.
Your habbits during the day have a significant impact on the recovery rate of the APT or any other posture deformation. This is my personal experience.

I just want to double down on what the above person posted, and need to make sure a professional diagnosed you with APT. Not dismissing that you do or don't. Do the things is a a proper aligned pelvis will actually have some sort of degree of anterior pelvic tilt and what is normal will be different from person to person.

This site is good:

I've been working on my APT for about 1.5 years and see no progress. I would argue I'm not doing the hip flexor stretch wrong either, as I often do it with my personal trainer who says it's correct. I work on abs and glutes and whole body, plus stretches, and it's just not happening. But I've read different people improve at different rates and some people get "locked in" and will never b able to fix it completely. My primary physician said he didn't think I could fix it, but I think he's wrong. Just not sure why I don't get at least some results.

I would highly recommend the book "The Egoscue Method of Health Through Motion" by Pete Egoscue. It can help you with stuff even advanced yoga cannot.
Hi everyone, I am...
