The tilt of the Leaning Tower of Pisa comes from its foundational base, not the building itself. In a like manner, if the pelvis is tilted, then the spine will end up being tilted. In this episode of The ABMP Podcast, Kristin and Darren speak with Dr. Joe Muscolino about the three different types of pelvic tilt, how forward head posture translates to the pelvis, and treatment approaches that can be used during and after the session.

Dr. Joe Muscolino has been a manual and movement therapy educator for more than 35 years. He has created several online streaming subscription platforms for manual therapy continuing education, including LearnMuscles Continuing Education (LMCE) with more than 3,000 video lessons and more than 300 hours of NCBTMB credit.
