Let’s talk a little bit of coaching and cuing today my friend!
If someone is dealing with an anterior pelvic tilt/anterior orientation, I like to use two cues to clean that up:
- Soft knees, and
- Belt buckle up.
However, we get ourselves into trouble when we cue all of our clients and athletes the same way.
For instance, what if someone isn’t in an anterior tilt, but they present with more of a swayback posture instead?
If you use that same “Belt Buckle Up” cue with this client, it might actually make things worse!
So in that case, what cue SHOULD we be using?
For swayback clients/athletes, I love to “scissor” them back into a better starting/finishing position using my hands.
It’s not a verbal cue, but a kinesthetic one that helps them get stacked and into a more ideal alignment.
Interested?
Here’s a short video on how to do it….

Regardless, I hope today’s video helps YOU become a better trainer or coach!
All the best,
