Pelvic tilt forward
Pelvic tilt forward
Solovyova Marina Viktorovna
I will be glad to hear from you
There are two types of bends in the human spine: lordosis (in the cervical and lumbar regions) and kyphosis (in the thoracic and sacral regions).
Today I want to draw your attention to a common problem in children with autism (and not only) - excessive pelvic tilt forward.
What you can see in a child with such a violation: a protruding stomach forward and a strong deflection in the lumbar region.
This violation is especially common in children who walk on their toes, as well as due to prolonged sitting, improper training, and injuries.

- Life hack:to determine the presence of this dysfunction, put the child against the wall with his back, as much as possible pressing the points of support of the body-heels, buttocks, shoulders, head. The distance between the wall and the lower back should be the size of your palm, if more-probably the pelvis is excessively tilted forward.
What this position of the pelvis can say:
1. Shortened hip flexor muscles (iliopsoas and rectus femoris) and elongated muscles of the back of the thigh.
2. Weak abdominal muscles.
3. Weak glutes.
4. Hypertonus of the lumbar muscle.
It is necessary to exclude from training exercises that increase lordosis in the lumbar region:
1. In the prone position: hyperextension:"Boat" and its manifestations (and on fitball), push-UPS, "Snake", plank.
2. on the back: buttock bridge, pulling the legs to the chest.
3. Standing: throwing the ball (especially weighted) from behind the head, squats, leg lifts in the vise, exclude all exercises with axial load, limit work with heavy objects.

- How to train:1. Work to relax tense muscles, strengthen weakened ones.
2. To perform the exercise symmetrically (at the same time when there are two limbs)
3. In position on the abdomen: put a cushion under the stomach.
4. in the back position: put your feet on a bench / step so that the angle at the knee joint is 90 degrees.
Safe training for everyone!
