Many women are proud of their hips and think that their figure should be S-shaped, but your hips are probably fake.
What is pelvic anteversion?
The pelvis is the central area of our body and the source of strength. Changes in the normal position of pelvis often lead to general pain.
Because pelvic ectopia is not easy to be detected, some pain caused by it is often attributed to problems in other parts. For example, joints such as the waist and knees always cause pelvic problems.
Pelvic anteversion is a pathological phenomenon of pelvic position deviation, and the correct pelvic position leans forward at a certain angle. That is to say, in people with this disease, the position of pelvis deviates from the normal position.
Symptomatic manifestations of pelvic anteversion
The most obvious symptom of pelvic forward tilt is hunchback. The waist-hip ratio, body mass index and weight are all in the normal range, but the lower abdomen is hunchback. If pelvic anteversion persists, there will be problems such as lower back and neck pain, shoulder and neck pain, and in severe cases, there will be symptoms such as bone and muscle pain.
The symptoms of pelvic anteversion are similar to those of many diseases, so we should pay attention to them when judging. For example, there are many reasons for low back pain, such as lumbar muscle sprain and lumbar muscle strain, which will bring the same discomfort.
How to judge whether the pelvis leans forward?
First, the most intuitive judgment method:
Heel and shoulder lean against the wall together, and palm is inserted between waist and wall. If the gap between the waist and the wall is greater than the thickness of a palm, the pelvis leans forward. If the gap between the waist and the wall is greater than one punch, it is a serious pelvic forward tilt!
Second, Thomas test (Thomas test)
Sit on the edge of a table or bench, lie on your back, hold your legs and knees tightly, keep your back and waist close to the plane, and then gradually let go of one leg so that your fallen hips and thigh roots touch the plane.
When the legs are lowered, it is not easy to keep the calves and thighs at 90 degrees. You need to stretch your calves so that your hips are pressed against the table, or your hips don't touch the table at all, which means that your pelvis leans forward.
In this process, you can ask your family and friends to take a look for you!
Harm of pelvic anteversion
The imbalance of human body proportion
The pelvis interacts with the femur of the spine and the posterior skull at the back of the head. If the pelvis is deformed, other bones will be distorted, resulting in abnormal operation and short height. Pelvic deformation will burden the femoral joint, lead to joint distortion and aggravate the internal and external splayed leg shape.
Lower obesity
Pelvic deformation will cause visceral prolapse, abdominal bulge, lateral development of buttocks, sagging and so on. , and then destroy the body curve. In addition, because the pelvic tilt will lead to the whole body tilt, the activities of various parts will be restricted, which will lead to muscle decline. Muscle is the only place to burn fat. If muscle strength decreases, fat will accumulate.
Constipation, dysmenorrhea, menstrual discomfort, etc
The pelvis supports the abdomen and has the important function of protecting the internal organs and reproductive organs. Pelvic deformation will affect the organs and reproductive organs in the pelvic cavity. The inclination of pelvis distorts the original shape of uterus, ovary, stomach and other organs, which hinders or even partially loses the function of body fluid flow. For example, the function of intestinal peristalsis will be weakened accordingly.
Shoulder and neck pain, lumbago
Incomplete pelvis pulls the muscles around the waist to expand to the left and right, which oppresses the lumbar nerves and causes low back pain. In addition, if the muscles from the waist through the back to the shoulders are stiff, it will inevitably affect the blood circulation and cause shoulder pain.
Chronic fatigue and body cold
When the pelvis is tilted, the blood vessels will be compressed, resulting in blood circulation failure. In addition, the muscles that generate and release heat under normal working conditions will be elongated due to the deformation of bones, and then the muscle tension will return to its original state, thus causing chronic fatigue. After the muscles are tense and stiff, the blood and lymph will not flow smoothly, and the body will be in a state of chills, which will be aggravated.
Causes of pelvic anteversion
There are two main reasons for pelvic anteversion, both of which are caused by daily habits and improper behavior:
Sedentary, resulting in weakness in the buttocks and abdomen; Long-term bad posture, deliberately maintaining the bones in order to make the ass more upturned when walking.
The posture of the basin leaning forward.
