If you've been bracing in your pelvis—gripping and holding to push through— the strain has likely caught up with you.
Here's Why Typical Fixes for Anterior Tilt Fail - And What Actually Works
You've probably tried
stretching your hip flexors
strengthening your core
"tucking your pelvis."
Maybe it helped for a few hours or days. Then your body snapped right back.
Here's why: Your anterior pelvic tilt isn't a problem to fix. It's your body's current solution to a bigger question.
That question is: How do I support myself when I'm upright?
Try This: A 3-Minute Experience to Experience What’s Possible
This is ONE piece of the puzzle—not because it's the "fix," but so you can experience what it feels like when your body recognizes a change that makes sense to its deeper organizational logic.
“It’s like I got two programs in one. My shoulders were the problem but I never got the message that my pelvis and shoulders impacted each other. ”
“This is fantastic! I finally understand why those psoas stretches never held. I feel such a difference - more freedom in my body and feeling strangely calm in the chaos.”
“I feel like I’m in a body I’ve never known. I’m so open in my upper chest, I don’t even recognize it. I feel like a weight has been lifted from my back.”
Your brain chose anterior tilt in your pelvis because it made sense based on:
How you learned to stand and who you modeled it after
How you created a sense of safety in your body
Which muscles you learned to trust for support
How you responded to being seen too much or not being seen enough
This means isolated corrections will always fail. Your nervous system will override them to get back to what feels "safe"—even if that safety comes with chronic tension, back pain, and feeling like you're constantly running ahead of yourself.
Why?
Because the story we have of what is safe at this point in your life is based on familiarity and energy conservation - it takes more than a stretch to change what your body already presumes.

The Real Strategy: Whole-Body Postural Re-Education
What will actually change your internal story of safety is a global change of the internal body shape you find to support yourself. Because our core support - the one we learned when we learned how to stand and walk - was an integrated functional AND emotional process.
As an adult with language and life experiences, you have more options.
You can disentangle what is postural and what is emotional by consciously training yourself to EXPERIENCE CORE SUPPORT that is unbound from protective emotional imprint.

Thousands of people have transformed how they live in their bodies through this approach.
Why DIY Doesn't Work for Deep Postural Change
Here's what happens when people try to piece this together on their own:
❌ They skip the support-building phase and wonder why their body keeps reverting
❌ They change one area (like pelvis) without adjusting compensations (shoulders, jaw, ankles)
❌ They don't know how to read their body's feedback when something isn't working
❌ They hit emotional resistance or visceral tension and don't know what to do
❌ They practice the movements but never integrate them into actual standing/walking
This transformation requires:
A step-by-step sequence that respects how your nervous system learns
Troubleshooting for your specific compensation patterns
Understanding the why behind each movement so you can adapt it to your body
Integration practices that make the changes permanent
To address these issues, I’ve created
The Anterior Tilt Solution
Here’s the strategic re-education process for your compromised postural system:
Baseline exercises:
Before releasing anything, learn where true support lives in your body (spoiler: not your lower back).
Learn a full-body integration processes that accesses and contextualizes the new connections you make.
Stage 1: Adjust restrictions on the diaphragm
Anterior tilt impacts breathing and may be a contributing factor to your anxiety.
Stage 2: Liberating shoulder girdle
The shoulder girdle is a lock on your anterior pelvic tilt. Address this well and you’ll be ready to make the connection from better pelvic support into a relaxed and open upper body.
Stage 3: Connecting upper and lower bodies
The whole body coordination you’ve been missing will ensure the changes you experience are enduring.
