This short video shows Pelvic and sacral tilt in the context of “Coxarthrosis (arthrosis of the hip joint).” Weak gluteus maximus and shortened flexors (iliopsoas, TFL, adductors) block hip extension. A person may start stepping with a straight knee and using the leg like a "walking stick" which increases the compression in the joint. This links the muscle’s location and role in movement with the areas where tension or pain may be felt.
Weak gluteus maximus and shortened flexors (iliopsoas, TFL, adductors) block hip extension. A person may start stepping with a straight knee and using the leg like a "walking stick" which increases the compression in the joint. The clip places this within “Coxarthrosis (arthrosis of the hip joint)” so it is easier to understand what is happening in the area, not only where symptoms are felt.
Muscle pain is not always local. When a muscle is overloaded or lacks control during movement, tension or pain can also be felt in a nearby area.
This is an educational visual linked to “Coxarthrosis (arthrosis of the hip joint).” If symptoms keep returning, restrict movement, or their source is unclear, a functional assessment is a more useful next step than guessing.
