If
your pelvis doesn’t work properly, you have an increased risk
of a leg length discrepancy (one leg being longer than the
other) which causes a misalignment of the leg and pelvis, it
causes more pressure on the foot and knee when you run and
in throwing and hitting events it makes it very difficult to
time your movements well.
This
leads to:
1. Poor timing in the hitting or throwing events as it makes it very hard to
release the hips, spine and throwing arm in synchrony, which
is critical to hit or throw with any power and with any accuracy
2. Less power through the legs in sports where leg power is critical from the
muscles being inhibited due to poor pelvis positioning and also
from the pressure this puts on your sciatic nerves (and others).
3. An increased risk of shoulder and upper back
injuries as any misalignment of the pelvis will be compensated
for in the shoulders and upper back.
4. An increased risk of back and leg injuries
due to the compensations that take place to cater for the lack
of mobility and natural function of your pelvis.
