Question Follow-Up: Star Tilt
Group: Montreal Study Group: 2026 Winter Cohort Author: Asia | Posted: 2026-01-24
Hey everyone!
Following up on today’s Star Tilt. I’ve recorded a video showing the proper tilting movement (3 times), followed by two movements commonly confused with it (also (3 times each).
**(1) What we’re doing in Star Tilt: **The pelvis tilts, and the upper body follows as one unit. The legs must move (back hip moves back). The spine position doesn’t change.
Common movements that often get mixed in (what we are trying to avoid):
-
(2) Spinal flexion: Movement happens in the spine while the pelvis stays still
-
(3) Lateral shift (translation): Pelvis and shoulders stay parallel to the floor, upper body glides sideways
In the diagram, notice how the tilt keeps the rectangle intact while the legs move. The other two keep the legs fixed but break the rectangle’s symmetry.
The goal: Isolate the tilting movement without any trace of flexion or lateral shift creeping in.
In the video, I’ve attached paper circles to my T-short to make the rectangle visible as I move.
Questions welcome!
