hmm. so, i used to take west coast swing lessons and i think a particular thing our instructor told us to do did something weird to my hip posture
Conversation
he told us to stick out out butts more than we expected and i think the way i did that put my hips at a weird angle. now when i walk too much i reliably get pain in my lower back

i *think* what he intended for us to do is stick out the *base of our spines* back? i'm experimenting with doing that + tucking my tailbone while walking and it feels less painful and more comfortable but idk how to maintain it

curious to hear from and/or , or anyone else who knows more about this stuff

Sounds like you achieved "stick your butt back" by tilting your pelvis forward & extending your lumbar spine as opposed to hinging through the hip joint

thanks man, will take a look 🙏
okay yeah this makes sense! part of the issue was def that my hip flexors were too tight (i think those are the right muscles anyway) and it's getting better the more i'm stretching and relaxing them
