Also just take breaks from sitting once in a while. Stand up every hour or so.

I believe high heels also cause this unnatural alignment.. So, maybe u are correct.

Post by: p_blaze on Sat, 29 September 2018, 11:40:20: I used to have this, the key is to stretch out your hamstrings and work on core strength. Exercise/core strength only won't fix really bad tilts, you have to make sure you train yourself to keep standing straight and stretching your leg muscles.

Post by: Kavik on Sat, 29 September 2018, 14:44:36: Supposedly strengthening the abs and the buttocks will have some effect. I've never been able to fix mine, but I'm not sure there's really any benefit to fixing it besides appearance (it makes the gut look big).

I read something a few months ago where a study showed that certain athletes exhibit this posture naturally. Sprinters were an example of this, which makes sense because angling the pelvis downward increases the range of motion of one's stride.

Forward leaning shoulders is an issue that I have as well, which I've been to correct somewhat via strength training and volitional posture correction. I think this is actually important to correct because it actually displaces the joint (the shoulder is mostly held in place by soft tissue).

The thing that REALLY catches my attention is why 90% of people have duck feet. Have you ever noticed that? People literally walk with their toes pointed 45 degrees outward. I can't do that without limping.
