Posterior pelvic tilt.

Strengthen

Massage and stretching actuallly have very limited effect if there is a muscle mass imbalance, strengthening the muscles which pull the pelvis into a normal anterior tilt will probably produce better results...

Thank you. Strengthening is *not* something she is interested in, but I have been convincing in other areas, with this ct, so my guess is that she will be willing to work on it.

The foot pain has decreased with working out the TPs in the adductors. I guess I'll talk her into this while she is still in awe, lol.

The website that Jay posted hit the nail on the head... crawling is very important to how our posture has evolved and how we balance, and with her standing all day long does not do well when she has a support structure that is out of balance and straining itself.

Just wondering - you said Psoas was not hypertoned but did you do any resisted strength testing? If Psoas is weak and her gluts/hamstrings are compensating then they'll definitely pull her into posterior tilt - especially after multiple abdominal surgeries. I believe educating her on the importance of strengthening psoas and making it sound not like a gym work-out but gentle contractions of the muscle may make her more susceptible to the idea? And strengthening her abs and core muscles would be important too....anyways I may be wrong but that's my theory
