What muscles are used to create and oppose posterior pelvic tilt when the upper body is leaning forward?
I have no difficulty tilting my pelvis in a seated or standing position, or in a quarter squat when my body is upright. When my upper body is tilted forward 30 degrees, however, curling my tailbone forward for a posterior pelvic tilt leads to a familiar juddering that I recognize as the sign of a poorly coordinated muscle group. Does a different muscle take over in this position, or are the spinal erectors pulling the pelvis in an anterior tilt direction and not being very good at relaxing?
I don't think it's an issue with hip flexibility, my hip hinge is fine.
