Understanding Contralateral Pelvic Drop and Its Physiotherapy Management ๐ฆต๐ถโโ๏ธ Contralateral pelvic drop happens when one side of the pelvis lowers during walking or standing on one leg, often from weak hip abductor muscles like the gluteus medius. This imbalance can lead to lower back pain, hip discomfort, and gait issues over time. At Phoenix Physiotherapy Clinic, our experts assess the root cause through gait and posture analysis, then create a personalized rehab plan including gluteus medius strengthening (side-lying leg raises, clamshells, resistance band walks), core stability exercises, postural re-education, balance training, manual therapy, and corrective movement training. Early intervention restores pelvic stability and improves walking mechanics for long-term mobility and pain-free movement.
