The pelvis is the main stability point for the spine and hips, making it prone to injury and muscle imbalance. These muscle imbalances can cause the pelvis to become asymmetrical over time, causing pain and further dysfunction. Pelvic instability can be the root cause of:

Low back pain
SI joint dysfunction
Neck pain
Hip tightness/bursitis
Meniscal wear and tear in the knee
Patellar tendonitis
Plantar fasciitis
Functional scoliosis

Maintaining a stable pelvis is the key to improving core strength and reducing pain. Since the pelvis is the attachment point for most of the muscles in the legs and trunk, it requires activation in several directions to realign and stabilize. The muscles involved in pelvic stability are the inner/outer thigh muscles, glutes, hip flexors, abdominals, and back extensors. Keeping these muscles activated will help to maintain a level pelvis which will reduce pain in many areas of the body.

This is a quick and easy way to RESET your pelvis by activating all of the muscle attachments. It’s a great way to warm up and prepare for any workout/yoga/pilates session that involves core stability. All you need is a yoga mat, yoga block (you can also use a pillow or book), and a strap or belt (try a dog leash).

This is a quick and easy way to increase pelvic stability associated with chronic lower back pain, SI joint dysfunction, and hip pain. Also use it as a warm up to activate the core and regain normal spinal alignment.
