The Pelvic Tilt Exercise – Alleviate Low Back Pain

The Pelvic Tilt Exercise – Alleviate Low Back Pain

by | Sep 3, 2014 | Blog, Core

A strong core means less risk for injury and pain. And if you suffer from low back pain, you need to strengthen your core!

That is why the Pelvic Tilt exercise is a must-do move. It activates your intrinsic core stabilizers so that your core is working and your low back doesn’t have to.

Because we sit all day, which create imbalances and tight muscles, our abs aren’t activated and working. Because our abs aren’t working, our low back sometimes take over and does work it shouldn’t, which leads to pain and injury.

Therefore anyone with low back pain or even simply a desk job, needs to do the Pelvic Tilt Exercise.

Plus if you’ve ever done Leg Lowers, or any other ab exercise, and felt the move in your low back, it means your abs aren’t yet strong enough to stay engaged during that move. Therefore, you need to do the pelvic tilt first to engage and strengthen your abs!

While we firmly believe that EVERYONE should do the Pelvic Tilt, it is often only recommended for women post pregnancy to help them regain their ab strength. However, no one can ignore this very important core stabilizing exercise if they suffer from low back pain!

Here’s how to do the Pelvic Tilt exercise and prevent and alleviate your low back pain!

Proper core training isn’t about doing a million crunches. It is about doing exercises that work everything from your shoulders to your knees.

Core training will improve your stability and strength in every plane of motion.
