The reason why I don't lose belly fat, because of my pelvis?Pelvic anterior slope. I can see the belly fat
Jan 29, 2025
In the new year, many people decide to diet, exercise hard, and manage their diet, but there are cases where the abdomen protrudes or belly fat appears. This phenomenon may not be due to weight gain, but rather to the problem of balance between the wrong posture, muscles, and skeletons. In particular, pelvic anterior incline, in which the pelvis is tilted forward, may be one of the hidden causes of this problem.
Pelvic anterior incline refers to the state in which the pelvis deviates from natural alignment and is excessively inclined forward. When the pelvis is tilted forward, the waist curve collapses and bends, causing the spine to come under abnormal pressure, and the abdomen may be unnecessarily pushed forward, making it look like belly fat has emerged. This attitude can lead to functional problems beyond just aesthetic problems.
Lee Won-young, director of Gangnam Nanuri Hospital's Spinal Center, explained that `Pelvic anterior incline can break the balance of abdominal and lumbar muscles and lead to chronic low back pain or serious spinal problems such as scoliosis and lumbar disc.'
Pelvic anterior inclinations are mainly caused by incorrect lifestyle habits. Because modern people spend a long time sitting down, the iliopsoas muscles that connect the pelvis and lumbar bones are shortened, tension is maintained, and on the contrary, the hip muscles are often weakened. This leads to an imbalance between the force that pulls the pelvis forward and the force that holds it back, causing the pelvis to tilt. In addition, wearing high heels, sitting cross-legged, and incorrect posture during exercise are also major factors that worsen pelvic anterior inclinations. In particular, in the case of women, they should be careful as the weakening of the muscles around the pelvis progresses due to pregnancy and childbirth, which can easily cause anterior slope.
Correct stretching and posture correction are essential to improve pelvic imbalance.
In addition to stretching, it is important to change lifestyle habits to maintain a correct posture. If you're an office worker who sits and works all day, you should wake up every 30 to 40 minutes to do a simple stretch, and try to keep your back up and not cross your legs when you sit down.In addition, it may be helpful to visit the hospital and check the range of motion of the joint and then receive manual treatment, which is a non-surgical treatment, if the pelvic anterior slope is confirmed. Manual treatment has the effect of correcting the alignment of the pelvis and relieving tension in the surrounding muscles, which helps relieve symptoms and correct posture.
Director Lee Won-young advised "Pelvic imbalances are not corrected in a short time, so you should exercise regularly, and in severe cases, you need to visit a hospital for professional orthodontic treatment."
※How to restore flexibility of iliopsoas muscles and help relax tension
-Lunge: Move back and forth with one leg forward. It relieves tension between the pelvis and iliopsoas muscles and is effective in correcting the position of the pelvis.
-Cat Cow: Move your waist up and down in a four-legged crawl position. It can increase the flexibility of the spine and improve the stability of the pelvis.
-Bridge: While lying down looking at the ceiling, raise your knees and repeat the movement of lifting and lowering your hips. It helps to correct the posterior pelvic tilt and strengthen the hip muscles.
