What is a pelvic tilt? And is an anterior pelvic tilt bad? 😆

The biggest concern I have for my clients is, can you obtain these positions? Is one harder for you or do you find yourself in one more position more of the time compared to others?

While a “neutral tilt” is optimal for many activities when we are working to decrease pain, leaking or prolapse symptoms, there are times that an anterior or posterior tilt are needed.

The other thing to think about is can you move through these positions while in different positions - standing, sitting, hands and knees, laying down.

Is one harder than the other? Are certain positions harder to move the pelvis in?
Let me know what you discover!
Now you know where you might need practice!

My hardest is moving into a posterior tilt…in almost every position 😆

In my last post, I spoke about how breathing is the first foundation for true strength

In my time working with people, most don’t think about how they are breathing bc it’s “automatic”. And if they are told to focus on it, it’s usually “breathe into your belly.”

But breathing only forward doesn’t allow the diaphragm to move the way it’s designed to.

When you inhale, the diaphragm descends like an umbrella opening - expanding 360 degrees: front, sides, and back.

That back-body movement is what we call posterior expansion.

Why does that matter?

If the rib cage can’t expand posteriorly, pressure has to go somewhere.
It often gets pushed down into the pelvic floor or up into the neck and shoulders — instead of being distributed through the system.

Posterior expansion:
• Gives the diaphragm space to work efficiently
• Allows pressure to move down and out rather than straight down
• Reduces unnecessary tension through the back, pelvic floor, shoulders, and hips
• Supports better control during everyday movement and training

Posterior expansion isn’t about breathing bigger.
It’s about breathing with balance — so pressure is shared, not forced into one area.

Next time you breathe, notice where the movement goes.
Front only? Or can you feel your ribs expand into your sides and back, too?

I’ve been blown away by the support, messages, and stories you all shared these last few days — truly, thank you. ❤️
Sharing my story wasn’t easy, but hearing how many of you connected with it reminded me why I do what I do.

Women deserve care that listens.
Care that looks at the whole picture — not just one muscle or one symptom.
Care that helps you feel strong, safe, capable, and supported in your own body.

And I’m more committed than ever to creating that space.

Over the next week, I’ll be sharing something new I’ve been building — designed specifically for women who want real answers, real progress, and a partner in their journey.

But for today… just thank you.
I’m really grateful you’re here. 🤍
