Do You Have A Rotated Pelvis? Here's What To Do!

Get Started With Your Mobility: tommorrison.uk/products/the-s...
When you stand or hang, is your pelvis rotated?
This could be subtle, or a very obvious twist!
If you do, you may commonly get back or hip pain on one side, a constantly tighter hamstring on one side, and you may struggle to squeeze one of your glute cheeks 😱
BUT! Don't worry!
This is not a problem you're just stuck with!
Your pelvis is influenced by your muscles, so train your muscles the right way and it'll straighten up!
The very first thing you need to do is un-rotate yourself using the stretch we show you in the video. If you jump straight into strength/corrective exercises like planks, palloff press, etc. you'll probably just strengthen your twisted position.
Once you've made a visual change, then follow this with some glute bridges & pallof press to make your correction stick!
Create the good position, then strengthen it 💪

I am facing the same issue as in your video (right side of the pelvis is slighty forward) and my left side (gluteal area, and also the left side of the spine up to ribs) feels really tight. Upon the couch stretch the tight sensation is better. But what what does it exactly mean? Is my left side weaker than my right? At least that's how it feels. Could this be the case?

    In the example in the video - you demonstrate having the left hip tight/twisted around, but then all of the example stretches were focusing on the right side. If one is twisted as in the example - they should theoretically be focusing on opening the left hip through the stretches prior to retesting?

But why would I do that in the first place? Is sitting this way the reason or do I sit like this, because there is another hidden issue? Being onto this topic for like 3 years now I have to say in retrospect I think I always had this issue. In younger years my body was more tolerant to it though, because you don't know about it until your knees hurt and then you realise that your body actually doesn't want to move like you used to.

When I do the begin assessment my right leg/foot falls outwards a bit as well as when I lay flat on. My back the right foot falls to the right, but the pain is in my left glute/Pirformis area with some sciatica when sitting and pain on the left side SI joint. The 90/90 stretch is a doozy but it’s loosing up my hip sockets. My plan is to sit in the 90/90 stretch like you suggested for 30mins a day should I also add these stretches?
