Pelvic drop while running: train your hips with control
Excessive contralateral pelvic drop (the hip drops too much on one side while running) has been associated with common running-related injuries, including patellofemoral pain and iliotibial band syndrome (Aderem & Louw, 2015; Bramah et al., 2018). Impaired hip abductor & glute strength and bad neuromuscular control may contribute to this altered running pattern (Bramah et al., 2018).
