If your hips tilt too far forward or backwards, you’ll develop either a flat looking lower back or an exaggerated curve in your lower back. Neither one of these conditions is healthy for your soft tissues supporting your spine.

Often a client will come to me with forward or backward hip displacement and not understand the soft tissues around the hip are pulling the body into an awkward and unnatural position. Usually someone waits until they are in pain before seeking help.

If you have lower back pain, your hip position is likely contributing to your pain. Left unaddressed the pain will come and go as your body compensates, but eventually the pain will be chronic and you will wish you addressed this treatable condition a little bit sooner.
