💥”Congenital” Anterior Pelvic Tilt(附中文) “Not scary at all” - Should we be scared if I tell you we are born with anterior pelvic tilt? Absolutely not. Let’s talk about the angle of tilting and how we should measure it - If we look at the body from the lateral side on a X-ray image, draw an imaginary line from the PSIS to the ASIS , and the angle formed with the transverse plane is the pelvic angle. It measures the pelvic tilting position in a natural relaxed state. Normal range for pelvic angle is 13° ± 6° [J. C. Le Huec et al., 2011] - We are born with a slight forward tilted pelvis. So if we do correct the tilting angle, to what extent can we correct it? Correction of pelvic angle does not solve it all. I often heard physios scam the public by telling there is ‘quick-fix’ to anterior pelvic tilting. We should start to think of the body as a whole integration rather than individual working parts . Feed the dysfunction with whole body movement to re-introduce kinesthetic awareness of pelvic position ————————————— 💥”先天” 骨盆前傾 “骨盆角度” - 常常聽到別人說自己骨盆有前傾，聽起來好像很糟。不過我告訴你，每個人天生骨盆便是前傾的，這樣是不是更可怕。我們來講一下什麼是骨盆角度 - 骨盆角度一般是從正常放鬆站姿下的X光片去做測量。從側面觀看，髂後上棘與髂前上棘的假想線，與水平面形成的夾角，就是骨盆角度。正常的骨盆角度是13° ± 6° [J. C. Le Huec et al., 2011] - 每個人的骨盆都有點前傾，真有需要做調整訓練嗎。做了後傾的訓練，疼痛就可以得到改善嗎。我常聽到某些治療師會說，單純調整骨盆的位置，或宣稱這樣能解決下背痛。針對下背痛的問題，應該給的是脊椎跟骨盆相對的運動，將身體想成一個個體，做整體性的運動，增加大腦對骨盆動作的控制 - - 希望能透過更多主題，改變大家對身體的既有想法。物理治療沒有”一次就搞定”或什麼”兩招就能解決”，與其欺騙大眾，我更鼓勵的是著實的進行運動治療，透過整體性的運動，讓病人知道長期運動才是維持健康的方式。喜歡這樣的主題，歡迎分享。有其他想探討的主題，歡迎在下面留言 - #jamesthephysio signing out
