What Causes Pelvic Distortion? Remedies and Our Recommended Treatments

Everyday habits and tendencies greatly relate to the causes of pelvic distortion.

For this reason, being mindful of these habits and correcting them can improve pelvic distortion.

This article details the causes of pelvic distortion, improvement methods, and our recommended treatments.

What Causes Pelvic Distortion?

The pelvis is an important part that can be called the body’s foundation, but it can become distorted by seemingly insignificant habits.

Pelvic distortion can worsen posture, leading to discomforts like lower-back pain, shoulder stiffness, and puffiness.

So what kinds of habits cause pelvic distortion? First, let’s introduce three causes of pelvic distortion.

A Habit of Crossing Your Legs

Many people probably cross their legs unconsciously when sitting, but this is actually one major cause of pelvic distortion.

When you cross one leg over the other, your pelvis becomes twisted.

Continuing this posture for long periods makes the pelvis prone to shifting from its original position, disrupting left-right balance.

Also, those who habitually fold their arms while standing should be cautious.

Folding your arms rounds your back, causing a posture where the belly juts forward.

Continuing this state also strains the pelvis, potentially causing distortion to progress.

If you notice yourself crossing your legs, being consciously mindful of avoiding it is important.

A Habit of Resting Your Chin on Your Hand

Resting your elbows on a desk with your chin on your hand looks relaxed, but it’s actually a cause of disrupting bodily balance.

Continuing to rest your chin on your hand on one side for long periods makes the spine prone to tilting sideways.

This causes weight to be distributed unevenly between left and right, concentrating strain on one side of the buttocks, leading to pelvic distortion.

Furthermore, resting your chin on your hand causes only the muscles on one side of the face to be used, which can also become a cause of facial distortion and shoulder stiffness.

It may seem like an insignificant habit, but it can disrupt whole-body balance if it accumulates, so try being mindful of avoiding it as much as possible.

Left-Right Imbalance in Bodily Balance

When standing, do you find yourself putting weight on one leg without realizing it?

Also, habits like always carrying a bag on the same shoulder can create left-right imbalance in the body.

Continuing these habits places strain on only one side of the pelvis, gradually causing distortion.

Being mindful of using your body evenly on both sides, and avoiding placing strain on one side, is important.

Simply slightly reviewing your daily posture and movements can prevent pelvic distortion.

How Can You Improve Pelvic Distortion?

When pelvic distortion concerns you, reviewing daily habits is important.

Leaving distortion unaddressed doesn’t just collapse your posture — it becomes a cause of various discomforts, like lower-back pain, shoulder stiffness, and puffiness.

Here we introduce methods for improving pelvic distortion.

Maintain Correct Posture

To improve pelvic distortion, first being mindful of your everyday posture is important.

When sitting, keep your back straight and sit deep in the seat, being sure to place both feet firmly on the floor.

A hunched posture or crossing your legs strains the pelvis, becoming a cause that worsens distortion.

Also, when standing, be mindful of not putting too much weight on one leg, standing with good balance on both feet.

A forward-leaning posture while looking at your smartphone also promotes pelvic distortion, so try to be mindful of looking at it with your face raised as much as possible.

Do Stretches

Stretches are one way to improve pelvic distortion easily at home.

Here we introduce two effective stretches for pelvic distortion.

Stretch to Loosen the Pelvis

1. Lie on your back on the floor with both knees bent up.
2. Slowly tilt both knees left and right, repeating about 10 times to loosen the area around your waist.

This stretch helps widen the pelvis’s range of motion.

Doing it before bed can also be expected to deliver a relaxing effect.

Stretch to Return the Pelvis to Its Correct Position

1. Sit on the floor, extend one leg forward, and bend the other leg cross-legged style.
2. Slowly lean your body toward the extended leg and hold for about 30 seconds. Do the same on the other side.

This stretch stretches the muscles around the pelvis and has an effect of regulating left-right balance.

Continuing daily will gradually improve pelvic distortion.

Receive Treatment at a Chiropractic Bodywork Salon

When pelvic distortion is severe, being mindful on your own may not be enough to improve it.

At times like this, receiving professional treatment at a chiropractic bodywork salon is also a method.

Bodywork can not only adjust pelvic misalignment but also balance the muscles, guiding you toward a body that more easily maintains correct posture.

Also, if the cause of pelvic distortion lies in muscular tightness or daily habits, easing that tension through bodywork treatment can be expected to improve distortion.

Our salon also offers treatments for improving pelvic distortion. See the next section for details.

For Improving Pelvic Distortion, KADOMORI’s “Pelvic Correction” Is Recommended!

Pelvic distortion can disrupt bodily balance, affecting appearance and health.

For those concerned about postpartum body changes, a widened pelvis, or bowlegs/knock-knees, pelvic correction is very effective.

At KADOMORI’s “Pelvic Correction,” we first thoroughly assess pelvic condition, then provide training and treatment tailored to each individual.

For postpartum clients, we recommend receiving it starting around 2 months after childbirth, but no matter how many years have passed since, it’s never too late.

By adjusting the pelvis to its correct position, let’s regulate you healthily not just visually but from within the body too.

Benefits You Can Expect

Adjusting pelvic distortion can be expected to deliver various pleasing changes.

For example, many people say “I can now wear jeans I couldn’t fit into before!”

When the pelvis stays widened, excess strain is placed on the buttocks and thighs, making the lower body more prone to thickening.

Receiving pelvic correction adjusts the pelvis’s width and distortion, tightening the buttocks, which can also lead to improving bowlegs and knock-knees.

Also, as the pelvis returns to its correct position, metabolism rises, and an effect guiding you toward a body that loses weight more easily can also be expected.

It’s a perfect treatment not just for visible change but for those aiming for a healthy figure from within the body.

Treatments Recommended Together

To further enhance the effects of pelvic correction, our salon lets you combine various treatments.

Since pelvic distortion is deeply related to the head, internal organs, and whole-body balance, receiving the following treatments together lets you regulate your body more effectively.

Cranial Correction

KADOMORI’s “Cranial Correction” is a beauty correction method using original technique cultivated over 17 years.

With comfortable, pleasant palm pressure, it directly approaches not just the scalp and muscles, but the skull too.

This improves facial distortion and puffiness, guiding you toward a cleaner facial line.

Also, as head tension loosens, its characteristic is that it can also lead to improving shoulder stiffness and eye strain.

Whole-Body Treatment

Since pelvic distortion is easily influenced by posture and lifestyle habits, balancing the whole body is important too.

In KADOMORI’s “Whole-Body Treatment,” we take posture photos during counseling and carefully analyze the cause of bodily distortion.

Considering each individual’s lifestyle and work posture, we use hand technique and needles to approach the muscles and bones.

By working on the fundamental cause, effects can be expected not just for improving shoulder stiffness and lower-back pain, but for adjusting whole-body distortion too.

KADOMORI-Style Intestinal Massage

KADOMORI’s “Intestinal Massage” is a treatment that breaks up waste (stagnant stool) stuck in the intestines, regulating the gut environment.

As intestinal function works normally, constipation and bloating improve, leading to resolving a protruding belly.

Also, since the intestines relate to immune function and beauty skin too, receiving this treatment can also be expected to improve skin condition and reduce fatigue.
