Why does one side of my pelvis stick out?

A lateral pelvic tilt is when the pelvis shifts side to side, so much that one hip is higher than the other. This leads to unilateral muscle imbalances throughout the body. The erector spinae muscle group often affects this tilt and should always be addressed in this situation.

What causes posterior pelvic tilt?

The motion of a posterior pelvic tilt is produced by a force-couple created by the abdominal muscles and the hip extensors (Fig. 9.26). The interaction of these two groups of muscles provides enhanced control of the hip and pelvis in a wide variety of postures.
