Type 2 = Pelvis shift (Left or Right) + shoulder drop
The side fasciae can be considered as the side pillars that hold the human body up from both sides like both goal posts. If either the left or right fascia becomes too strong or weak, the pelvis and spine, which are the middle parts of our body, will become unstable. For example, when walking, the pelvis moves excessively which naturally increases the probability of developing pelvic asymmetry. Therefore, it is essential to use the lateral fasciae to improve postural imbalance.
The pelvis shifting towards the right side is the main feature of Type 2. This pelvic shift will naturally shift the right shoulder higher than the opposite side. The more the pelvis is pushed to the right, the higher the right pelvis and higher the right shoulder, while the left shoulder is relatively lower.
However, if the right core and chest muscles are used a lot, the right shoulder may get lowered as the core and chest muscles can pull the right thorax and shoulder down + forward. Thus, it would be easier for you to decide whether you have pelvic rotation first and choose either Type 1 or 3 accordingly. Then determine which side your pelvis is shifted to and add adductor exercises from this class to your main class.
If you don't see any pelvic rotation, check the side your pelvis is shifted towards.
- If it is the right side and your right shoulder is higher, do this class as shown in the videos.
- If it is the left side and your left shoulder is higher, do the opposite to the instructions given in each video.
- Lastly, if you have pelvis inflare/outflare on top of pelvic shift, do this Type 2 class as the main one and add the exercises for inflare/outflare from the class 'Pelvic imbalance'.
