Hi all, I've started experiencing some lower back pain as I try to work more from a standing desk. Taking a look at my posture, I think my pelvic tilt might be contributing to this. To this end I'm trying to:
- Strengthen abs
- Strengthen glutes
- Stretch hip flexors
From reading Relax Into Stretch regarding hip flexors, the torso should remain upright during the stretch, which is achieved by tightening abs + glutes. After tightening the hip flexor, when relaxing into the stretch, how do you keep that upright posture? Do you try to keep your abs/glutes tight? I think when I'm relaxing into the stretch, the part that relaxes most is that lower back that starts to round.
Thanks all!
