What is the best starting position for re-training pelvic tilting?

The best starting position for re-training pelvic tilting is the quadruped position. In this position, the individual is on their hands and knees, which allows for a stable base of support and encourages the natural movement of the pelvis. This stance is effective because it helps to engage the core muscles while allowing for greater awareness of pelvic positioning.

The quadruped position promotes proper spinal alignment and provides a comfortable way to feel the dynamics of pelvic tilting without other body parts compensating for movement. It facilitates both anterior and posterior pelvic tilting, as the weight distribution can be adjusted easily, enabling practitioners to focus on the pelvic motion without excessive strain or instability that might be present in other positions.

Other positions, such as standing or sitting, might not offer the same level of control and feedback necessary for effectively retraining pelvic motion. The supine position, while beneficial for some exercises, might reduce engagement of core stabilizers relevant to pelvic tilting and restrict the ability to actively manipulate the pelvis in the desired manner. Thus, the quadruped position is optimal for focusing on the nuances of pelvic tilting.
