How Not to Fix Rib Flare!

Anterior pelvic tilt and rib flare are probably the most common postural deviations that I see. But they are also the ones that most people screw up trying to “fix.”🤔 Whether or not you should actually be trying to “fix” it or not is the topic for another post, but if you are, don’t make this mistake…. ➡️ And that mistake is crunching the rib cage down as a unit and over-tucking the pelvis. 👎 A lot of us incorrectly assume that to correct this posture, we must make an obvious adjustment. This often just creates an additional compensation instead of simply relaxing tension to allow access to a more balanced position. ⚠️ Posture should be effortless, so if you are putting much thought or physical effort into holding a position, you are definitely doing it wrong. ❌🚫 Instead, if you’ve got anterior pelvic tilt and rib flare, learn to make these subtle adjustments: ✅ 1. Let go of tension on the back of the body 🧘‍♀️ 2. Gentle tuck your guts back ➡️ 3. Shift your weight so you have equal pressure in your feet 🦶 And if you need help improving posture, breathing, and feeling your best, head to the link in my bio and join the waitlist for Total Body Restoration. #posture #posturecorrection #posturecorrectionexercises #posturalexercises #posturalrestoration #posturalrestorationinstitute #anteriorpelvictilt #ribflare #unevenshoulders #badposture #goodposture
