Supine Pelvic Tilt
- During a posterior pelvic tilt, I feel tension extending all the way up into my neck and even the muscles of my face. I can consciously relax my face, but I still can’t fully relax my neck.
- During an anterior pelvic tilt, the range of motion is greater and the movement feels easier. However, at the end range of the movement, I experience pain in my lower back.
Neutral Spine – TVA Activation
- The right side of my deep core activates before the left.
- I have to consciously contract the left side with additional mental effort to achieve a balanced contraction.
- In the final phase of the contraction, my breathing becomes disrupted.
- I develop significant tension where the left upper trapezius meets the side of my neck.
Standing Pelvic Tilt
- Performing pelvic tilts while standing is much more difficult.
- I can keep the rest of my body relaxed and isolate the movement to the pelvis.
- However, my lower back fatigues quickly and becomes very tense.
Shoulder Bridge – Level 1
- The exercise feels easy to perform.
- The movement initiates from the pelvis.
- I feel mild discomfort at the end of the movement where the groin meets the front of the hips.
