hey everyone, looking for some advice from anyone who has successfully managed to fix their anterior pelvic tilt (APT) through bodyweight training.basically, i have a severe desk job slouch, and my pelvis is completely dumped forward. whenever i try to do regular bodyweight squats, lunges, or even planks, my lower back instantly takes over. my quads get totally fried, but my glutes and lower abs feel completely dead. it’s like my nervous system forgot how to fire them up.because of this biomechanical mess, standing for a long time gives me this annoying lower back tightness, and visually, my lower stomach sticks out even though my body fat is low.i've realized that just doing random stretching isn't doing anything because the moment i stand up, the tightness comes back.for those who overcame this, did you have to aggressively isolate the activation phase before doing compound movements? not looking for a quick fix, just want to make sure my logic makes sense from a movement perspective. thanks.

hey everyone, long time lurker here. just need to vent and maybe get some real advice.i’ve been dealing with chronic lower back pain and stiffness for over a year now, and my doctor told me it’s mostly due to severe APT (anterior pelvic tilt) from my office job. my pelvis is basically dumped forward, which makes my lower back arch like crazy. because of this, my lower stomach sticks out and my back is constantly under tension.the worst part is that i’ve tried all the generic advice on youtube. hip flexor stretches, foam rolling, hamstring stretches.. it gives me a tiny bit of relief for like 20 minutes, but then the stiffness just comes roaring back. it feels like my core and glutes are completely turned off or "dead," and my lower back is doing 100% of the work just to keep me standing. sitting all day makes it worse, and standing for more than 15 mins becomes uncomfortable.

has anyone here actually cured their back pain by fixing their APT permanently?

how long did it take you to see real progress?

any advice would be highly appreciated. thanks in advance.

hey guys, throwaway account because im kinda embarrassed about my body shape right now.basically i’ve been struggling with APT (anterior pelvic tilt) for like 2 years now. my lower back is always stiff especially after sitting at my desk all day, but the worst part is the visual stuff. even tho im relatively lean, i have this stupid "fake belly" sticking out and my glutes look way too prominent from the side. it’s honestly killing my self-confidence and i hate looking at the mirror.i’ve tried literally everything watched a million youtube videos, did all the hip flexor stretches, crunches, whatever. it feels good for like 10 minutes, but the moment i stop thinking about my posture my pelvis just drops forward again. my core and glutes feel completely dead and i can't hold the right posture on autopilot.i started looking into the actual biomechanics recently and realized most generic advice just treats the symptoms, not the root cause
