Two Types of APT

Anterior pelvic tilt or APT is a term tossed around a lot in the fitness industry. Most people understand APT as the pelvis being tilted or pushed forward. What most people don’t understand is that can occur for two different reasons. If your APT is from a tight upper pelvis, you will be missing external rotation. Use wall squatting or ramp squatting to loosen your APT is from a tight lower pelvis, you will be missing internal rotation. Use hinge positions to loosen up. If you’re missing BOTH internal and external rotation, use a more hinge like squat. This box squat in this video is a great place to start. Knowing what rotation you are missing is key to choosing the right exercise to get rid of APT for good. #physicaltherapist #physicaltherapists #strengthcoach
