I have anterior pelvic tilt since birth. Should I go to a physiotherapist to correct it?

Question

Regards Lybrate user. Changes in bones or joints that may occur are termed as 'deformity' sometimes these changes may occur before birth, at birth or after birth. The changes may continue to be the same or at times could change depending on the growth of body and application of forces on the bones and joints. Physiotherapists may be able to guide and alter the forces that are applied on the bones and joints. It is recommended to consult a physiotherapist if you have started noticing changes in the pelvic tilt.
