   Our user asked: "I don't know much about manual therapy, but I can do the technique to correct pelvis rotation with amazing results. Do you know exercises to follow that technique? Thanks"

Ask a PT Response: "Exercises will depend on what is going on at the pelvis. You will have the patient strengthen/stabilize where there are strength deficits and stretch where there are flexibility limitations. Exericses often include strengthening of the hip rotators and other muscles, core strengthening, piriformis stretch among stretching of other muscles, postural training, etc."

	Since we know that anterior inominate roatation is more common than posterior inominate rotation, I would give my patient a stretch for piriformis, hip flexors. I would also show them prone hip extensions with emphasis on glut max activation more than hamstrings. Core stabilization is always improtant for any back patients. I have also found that posterior hip capsule mobilization also works wonders for these patients. Hope it helps.

	When the pelvis is anteriorly rotated, the sacrum is tipped forward and the rest of the spine follow it. This creates a large increase in the amount of curvature (lordosis and scoliosis) of the lower back. This deep curvature of the back then result in extreme pain and various problems including muscle spasms, pinched nerves, and possibly damage to the intervertebral discs.
