Neutral Spine

There is disagreement about what an ideal arrangement for the pelvis is and there is a wide range of arrangements that people call "neutral." I use neutral to mean anteverted pelvis, though I tend not to use this word because it means different things to different people. Most people use "neutral" to mean a pelvic position that is tucked (retroverted) by my standards - sometimes slightly tucked and sometimes very tucked (see Arthur White, MD's "The Posture Prescription.")

Esther, I have Arthur White's book.  What is your take on it? Connie

Hmmm - I use images from his book "Posture Prescription" in my course to show how poor our current guidelines are...his examples of "good posture" look awkward, uncomfortable and unhealthy to me.
