The most obvious symptom of anterior pelvic tilt is hip kyphosis. The waist-to-hip ratio, BMI value and weight are all within the normal range, but the lower abdomen is still lordotic.
Long-term forward tilt of the pelvis not only affects the appearance, but also seriously increases the burden on the lower back and neck, causing pain, shoulder and neck soreness and other problems, and even affects other skeletal and muscle health.
The dangers of pelvic deformation
1. Imbalance of human body proportions and pelvic deformation of lower body obesity can cause visceral sagging, lower abdominal protrusion, lateral development and sagging of the buttocks, etc., thus destroying the body curve. . On the other hand, the pelvis is linked to bones such as the spine, thigh bones, and posterior skull located at the back of the head. If the pelvis is deformed, these bones will also be distorted and prevent them from functioning normally. This will not only have a negative impact on the nearby abdomen and buttocks, and even the proportions and balance of the whole body. Pelvic deformation will put a burden on the hip joint, causing joint distortion, and aggravating the internal and external splayed legs. In addition, because the pelvic tilt will cause the whole body to tilt, the activities of various parts will be restricted, which will cause muscle decline. Muscles are the only place to burn fat. If the muscle strength (i.e. fat metabolism function) is also low, fat will accumulate.
2. Constipation, dysmenorrhea, menstrual discomfort, etc.
The pelvis supports the abdomen and has the important function of protecting internal organs and reproductive organs. Pelvic deformation will affect the internal organs and reproductive organs in the pelvis. The tilt of the pelvis distorts the original shape of the uterus, ovaries, intestines and other organs, causing the flow of body fluids to be hindered or even partially disabled. For example, the function of intestinal motility will be weakened accordingly. Chronic constipation is mostly related to this.
3. Shoulder and neck soreness and low back pain
An incompletely closed pelvis will pull the muscles around the waist to expand to the left and right, causing compression of the lumbar nerves and causing low back pain. In addition, if the muscles from the waist through the back to the shoulders become stiff, it will inevitably affect the blood circulation and cause shoulder pain.
4. Chronic fatigue and body cold
Due to the tilt of the pelvis, the blood vessels are compressed, preventing the normal circulation of warm blood. In addition, the muscles that originally generate and release heat under normal working conditions will be elongated due to the deformation of the bones. At this time, the muscles will become tense to restore their original state, which will cause chronic fatigue. After the muscles are tense and stiff, the flow of blood and lymph fluid is not smooth, the body will be in a cold state, and the chills will become worse.
