Uneven Hips
When your hips are uneven, all your movements become asymmetrical. The muscle imbalance will worsen with age. Prevent pain with regular hip alignment exercises.
How to ReAlign Uneven Hips and Correct a Lateral Pelvic Tilt
Most people are unaware that they lean to one side, put more weight on one leg than the other, or “hang” on one hip while standing. As a result of such postures, the weight bearing side of the body becomes stronger while the other side becomes weaker.
Plus, muscles on the dominant side tighten, which causes the pelvis to tilt laterally and the hip to drop.
When one of your hips is higher than the other, all your movements become asymmetrical. If you fail to correct the problem with appropriate exercises, the muscle imbalance will inevitably worsen with age and cause hip or lower back pain at some point in your life.
People diagnosed with scoliosis, leg length discrepancy, and asymmetrical pronation of the foot are all at risk of developing hip and lower back pain caused by a lateral pelvic tilt. The same goes for athletes who play tennis, golf, baseball, cricket, and any other asymmetrical sports and parents who carry their babies on one arm. All should include hip alignment exercises in their regimen to prevent the painful consequences of uneven hips.
The Pelvic Clock® Body Alignment workout helps correct a lateral pelvic tilt and improve hip alignment by:
Stretching the QL (quadratus lumborum) muscle on the tighter side
Stretching tight hip flexors (iliopsoas)
Strengthening the internal and external oblique muscles on the weaker side
STRETCHES for Uneven Hips
