If your back hurts, check your pelvis
Back pain is closely related to pelvic tilt. When the pelvis tilts forward (anterior pelvic tilt), the lower back over-arches. When it tilts backward, back muscles are strained.
Posture Causes
Prolonged sitting shortens hip flexors and weakens abs, tilting the pelvis forward. Habits like crossing legs or leaning to one side cause pelvic asymmetry, unevenly loading one side of the back.
