1, left and right imbalance
When you look at the posture from the front, you will find that the height of the left pelvis and the right pelvis (the position of iliac crest) is different, which is also called left-right posture.
When the pelvis on one side of the body is on the upper side, causing the pelvis on the other side to sink, there will be a height difference between the left and right sides of this type of pelvis, which can be divided into two reasons:
First of all, because the muscles on one side of the waist and abdomen are too tight, one side of the pelvis deflects upward, so the other side of the pelvis will also drop accordingly.
Another reason is that the abductor muscles on one side are too tight, which leads to the downward deflection of the other pelvis and the upward elevation of the other pelvis.
anterior pelvic tilt
Pelvic anteversion is a common pelvic problem. In short, it is for the hip, which will not only sacrifice the health of the lumbar spine, but also make the knee overstretch and limit the activity of the ankle. This type can be subdivided into two types.
The first is excessive lordosis and kyphosis, which is characterized by prominent chest and buttocks. At first glance, it seems that the posture is good, but in fact, the abdominal muscles are in a state of weakness and the pelvis is seriously tilted forward. This pelvic posture is likely to lead to low back pain.
The second type is postpartum and senile, usually due to birth and age growth, leading to extreme core weakness. Once the core strength is weak, the lower abdomen will stand out. In order to hide the lower abdomen, it is easy to appear hunchback. Another feature of this figure is that the knee joint will be outward.
Pelvic retroversion
What is the representative of this type? Humpback, hang your hips? Due to the high tension of hamstring muscles, the hip muscles are weak, and the pelvis is in a state of sinking backwards, which seems to have the feeling of hip drooping. However, in order to keep the balance before and after, hunchback will appear in the upper body, and it is easy to appear with age.
After talking about the causes of pelvic skew, let's talk about the causes of pelvic skew.
high-heeled shoes
Wearing high heels for a long time may cause the whole spine to be skewed, and may even lead to hunchback, headache and other problems. When the right pelvis leans forward, the muscles in front of the abdomen are stretched and the lumbar vertebrae in the back are squeezed. In addition, at this time, the knee may be overstretched, and the calf must be very tight to maintain balance, which is also the reason why the calf becomes thicker when wearing high heels.
Bad behavior in life
Why is our pelvis askew? Bad exercise in life is the main cause of pelvic deformation, and most people with pelvic deformation are due to improper use of muscles.
Take the action of walking as an example. When walking, everyone will distribute their weight evenly on the soles of their feet. Some people habitually step out of the forefoot and shift their center of gravity outward. Some people habitually spread their weight to one side of the little toe when their feet land.
These behaviors and habits will lead to uneven muscle exertion related to walking, leading to excessive exertion in some parts. Improper walking and posture will lead to pelvic deformation for a long time. Even if there is no wrong posture when walking, if the walking posture is unbalanced due to sprain, it may also lead to pelvic skew.
