What to do with the anterior pelvic tilt?

Anterior pelvic tilt (APT) is common. The hips get pushed out, the ribs protrude, and the low back tightens. Think, “ribs down.” Press your ribs down and brace your abs without letting your upper back round over. This is step one in eliminating APT. Exhale at the right time when lifting. This will help you depress the ribs and engage the abs.

What is the cause of anterior pelvic tilt?

When these muscles become imbalanced in terms of length, strength and flexibility, the pelvis can be pulled more one way than the other.
