In this Episode, Alison takes us through the controversial topic of pelvic tilt and acetabulum loading in relation to a paper that was recently published (referenced below). She starts by guiding us through the dynamic assessment of pelvic tilt and how this can affect other structures around the hip joint. We also discuss how changing an individual’s pelvic tilt can impact their pain and range of motion during functional tasks such as squatting.
