Consequences of pelvic tilt

  • Low back and sacral pain
  • Menstrual pain
  • Abdominal bloating, indigestion
  • Difficulty holding urine
  • Postural disorder
  • Clicking in the jaw during movement
  • Knee and foot problems
  • Headaches

This problem, often linked to one leg being shorter, disrupts the body’s overall balance and places excess load on the spine. As a result, serious problems such as a disc protrusion or herniation may develop.
