The pelvis is the structural centrepiece of the body. It serves as a base of support for the spine, rib basket, shoulders, and head. When balanced, these body parts can quite literally rest on top of each other. When imbalanced, they struggle to stay in place, leading to energy-consuming postural compensations and movement restrictions. Although the pelvis sits on the legs, its alignment significantly influences your lower body’s agility and how securely you stand on your feet.

Nowadays, a shifted-forward pelvis seems to be an even more common pattern than the regularly observed anterior tilt. Many, if not most of us, have also developed a pelvic rotation, which often underlies spinal counter-rotations. In all of these patterns, the muscles contributing to hip flexion and hip extension (11 and 11, depending on how you count) and their fascia are compromised.

In the “best of” Slings movement and self-massage sequence featured in this webinar, we will actively lengthen the hip flexor line-up while enhancing fascial glide, softness, and hydration, which frequently is of greater value than stretching. At the same time, we will multidimensionally strengthen, easefully lengthen, and relax the hip extensor assembly. Besides the immediate positive effects, the exercise combination has proven successful in gradually rebalancing the pelvis, therefore increasing postural and movement ease above and below, sustainably.
