Lateral Pelvic Tilt Posture Correction - Rightward Orientation

It is very common to see individuals with postural orientation to the right. This will often present as a lateral pelvic tilt.

The science of PRI has described this orientation in detail. Some of the proposed explanations include:
1. The right diaphragm is bigger than the left
2. The liver sits underneath the right diaphragm, giving it leverage to shift the body over to the right via abdominal opposition
3. Our brain has a dominant left hemisphere which controls the right side of the body

And no, it doesn't matter if you are a lefty vs. a righty. (Unless your brain and organs are flipped).

The main point of emphasis to initially correct a rightward orientation is to improve the ability to create abdominal tension on the left side to oppose the diaphragm.

Going hand in hand with this lack of left abdominal opposition is often a tight or restricted right abdominal wall that keeps us pulled over to the right.

In this video, we use a kettlebell loaded in the right hand to cue to trunk muscles (abdominals) on the left to maintain the body in a straight or slight left side-bend position.

We can then integrate reaching to turn the thorax towards our left hip.

This technique is somewhat high level. Typically a strong patterned rightward orientation would likely require techniques on the table first to recapture awareness of opposition muscles, however if you work out and have a rightward orientation, these modifications may make it easier to continue to exercise while reducing the secondary consequence or reinforcing your rightward orientation and lateral pelvic tilt.
