Hidden issue - Twisted pelvis

Sure it might look sexy to walk with a Gisele Bundchen-style swing, but it can be a sign that your pelvis is twisted. The pelvis is the foundation of the whole skeleton. When out of proper alignment it can trigger knee and ankle problems and lower back pain. And, because more weight is placed on one hip, it causes greater 'wear and tear', and could result in the need for a hip replacement later in life.

The most effective way to treat a twisted pelvis is to see an osteopath or chiropractor. To prevent the problem returning, try yoga, Pilates or Alexander technique classes to keep your joints supple and properly aligned.
