Posture correction can treat the most common muscle imbalances such as the anterior pelvic tilt (deep gap in lower back, belly sticking out) and the hunched over shoulders with protruding head sticking out.  These muscle imbalances can be corrected with posture correction exercises and stretches with remarkable results.

What is a muscle imbalance

Muscles that cause muscle imbalance

Posture correction for the anterior pelvic tilt

The anterior pelvic tilt is a muscle imbalance when the top of the pelvis tilts too forward causing a very large gap in the lower back while at the same time makes the abdomen stick out abnormally.  This condition can also be responsible for the lower back pain many people also suffer.

Posture correction exercises and stretches can be used to correct this muscle imbalance to bring the pelvis back into a normal and natural position.

Posture correction for hunched over shoulders and protruding head sticking out

The hunched over shoulders with the protruding head sticking out is a very common muscle imbalance that many people suffer.  It causes neck and upper back pain and is considered an unattractive feature to possess.

Posture correction exercises and stretches can be used to treat this muscle imbalance by strengthening the muscles that allow hunched over shoulders and the protruding head sticking out, and to stretch the muscles that pull on them.
