Neutral Pelvis
Finding a neutral pelvis will help us identify if we compensate for tight hip flexors. We may be outsourcing the movement that should be in the hip joint and overusing the extension or rotation of the spine instead. while walking, our pelvis should remain relatively stable (not tilting anteriorly/posteriorly, nor rotating) and our hip should have the mobility to extend the leg behind us. One way to encourage this motion is through the practice of a simple lunge. and another way is to keep your hands on your pelvis to feel how it gets pulled around or how stable it is while walking.
