The Pelvic Tilt

The pelvic tilt is a classic therapeutic exercise used to stabilize body posture by developing and strengthening the core musculature. The pelvic tilt can be found in yoga, pilates, physical therapy and other exercise systems. While there are variations on the pelvic tilt, the move for all is about the same. About's Yoga editor, Ann Pizer, has a simple description on how to do a pelvic tilt, complete with an animated illustration, while I have written up a short article on how pelvic tilts help to reduce back pain.

I am pleased to announce that I am collaborating with Yoga Guide, Ann Pizer, on a series of articles about yoga and back pain. Each month, we will address a specific yoga pose and its theraputic applications. You can find links to all the articles on both the Yoga and Back and Neck Injury - Chronic Pain sites.
