Elevated Quadruped Pelvic Tilts

I've been using this drill a lot recently to help re-introduce flexion into my lumbar spine after a minor deadlifting setback about a week ago. On occasion when I experience some pain from training I usually present with flexion intolerance and painful activities include pelvic tilting (either seated or in supine), bending down/forward at my waist, etc. _ However when I place myself into an elevated quadruped position, it creates a stability demand from my abdominal and lumbopelvic muscles which helps enable a more pain-free posterior pelvic tilt and spinal flexion. An example of how loading a movement, even slightly, can help facilitate movement that would otherwise be painful. #ClinicalAthlete #ClinicalAthleteProvider
