Determining best pelvis positioning when standing

Where your pelvis sits in space (your posture) is very important for your pelvic floor health and strength!

The pelvic floor is just one part of the core, with the other 3 main parts of the system being your multifidus, transverse abdominus and diaphragm (We will dig into these more in coming weeks).

Proper posture helps with keeping all parts of this system working well, without any tightness or compensations developing.

A forward sitting pelvis like Alaina is demonstrating (with posterior pelvic tilt) is the position we end up in by default when sitting slumped on a chair or couch. This can lead to many different issues, including weak glutes, lower back pain, pelvic floor muscle weakness and poor breathing patterns.

When standing up, aim to have your hip bone sitting in line with your ankle bone, as demonstrated by the orange band in the video.

How does this feel in your body? Natural? Or something you'll need to work on?
