Lateral Pelvic Tilt

 

A runner who lands correctly during hurdles but appears "tilted" while running typically suffers from Lateral Pelvic Tilt (or hip drop) during the stance phase of a normal running gait. 

The reason the tilt is more noticeable during running than hurdling is due to the difference in single-leg stability requirements:
1. Lateral Pelvic Tilt (Hip Drop)
• The Cause: When running, you spend a period of time supported by only one leg (the stance phase). If the gluteus medius or core muscles are weak, they cannot stabilize the pelvis, causing the non-weight-bearing side of the hip to "drop" or tilt.
• The "Tilted" Look: This drop throws the rest of the body out of alignment, often making the runner's torso appear to lean or tilt to one side to compensate for the unstable base. 

2. Why Hurdles Look "Okay"
• Active Engagement: Hurdling requires an aggressive, conscious "crunch" of the torso toward the lead leg and a high trail-leg drive. This extreme, deliberate range of motion often forces a temporary, rigid alignment that masks underlying stabilization weaknesses.
• Landing Dynamics: In hurdle landings, the athlete is focused on a sharp, "on-toes" touchdown with the lead foot to maintain horizontal velocity. This explosive, short-duration contact is mechanically different from the repetitive, sustained loading of a standard running stride. 

Common Root Causes
• Muscle Imbalances: Weak hip abductors (glutes) or deep core muscles.
• Tightness: Tight hip flexors from long periods of sitting can pull the pelvis out of a neutral position.
• Overstriding: Landing too far in front of your center of mass while running can increase lateral instability. 

To address this, you can perform one-sided (single-leg) strengthening exercises to target the weaker side and improve overall pelvic stability. 


How the Tilt Leads to Achilles Pain
• Altered Footstrike: A tilted pelvis can cause your knee to rotate inward and your foot to overpronate (roll inward excessively). This places an uneven, "whipping" strain on the Achilles tendon instead of a straight vertical load.
• Compensatory Loading: If your hips are unstable, your calf muscles (the gastrocnemius and soleus) often stay chronically contracted to "take up the slack" for the weak glutes. This constant tension prevents the Achilles tendon from ever fully unloading, leading to micro-tears and inflammation.
• Leg Length Discrepancy: A lateral tilt can make one leg "act" longer than the other, causing that leg to hit the pavement with more intensity and at a poor angle, increasing the risk of Achilles injury on that side. 


What to Look For
• Bilateral Weakness: Studies show that runners with Achilles pain often have weakness in the hip abductors (glutes) on both the injured and uninjured sides.
• Referred Stress: If your hips or knees fail to stabilize your body weight during the stance phase of running, the Achilles tendon acts as the "last line of defense" and absorbs the extra stress. 

Next Step: Are you feeling the pain specifically at the insertion point (where the tendon meets the heel bone) or a few inches above the heel? Understanding this can help determine if the issue is more related to compression or overstretching.

Music as Sacred Art

The Church encourages praying using lectio divina and or visio divina: Some individuals find it difficult to understand the Bible for a number of reasons, including its complex language, diverse cultural contexts, and the need for spiritual discernment. 

While the Catholic Church does not consider art to be "sacred and canonical" in the same way it considers Sacred Scripture to be sacred and canonical, the Church recognizes the importance of sacred art in expressing faith and promoting worship. Each sacred art piece can be viewed as a homily.




"To all who are passionately dedicated
to the search for new “epiphanies” of beauty so that through their creative work as artists they may offer these as gifts to the world.

“God saw all that he had made, and it was very good

Through his “artistic creativity” man appears more than ever “in the image of God”, and he accomplishes this task above all in shaping the wondrous “material” of his own humanity and then exercising creative dominion over the universe which surrounds him. With loving regard, the divine Artist passes on to the human artist a spark of his own surpassing wisdom, calling him to share in his creative power." (Letter to Artists

In the spirit of Pope John Paul II's Letter to Artists, musical pieces qualify as sacred art when they serve as "epiphanies" of beauty that bridge the human experience with the divine. This includes works specifically composed for liturgical worship as well as "religious music" that explores the mystery of the Incarnate God.

The following musical masterpieces are widely recognized as pinnacle examples of sacred art:

Classical Masterpieces

• Johann Sebastian Bach: Mass in B Minor and St. Matthew Passion. These are considered "summas" of the genre, blending intellectual craft with profound spiritual depth.
• Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Requiem in D Minor. A monumental work for the dead that remains one of the most performed pieces of sacred music in history.
• George Frideric Handel: Messiah. An oratorio that transitioned sacred themes from the church to the concert hall, making the biblical narrative accessible as a "gift to the world".
• Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina: Missa Papae Marcelli. Known for perfecting polyphony, a style the Church has long held as a model for its "holy sincerity of form".
• Gregorian Chant: The Roman Liturgy's foundational music, which John Paul II reaffirmed as a primary element of unity and "authentic renewal". 

Contemporary and Modern "Epiphanies"

• Arvo Pärt: The Beatitudes and Für Alina. Pärt’s minimalist style aims to apprehend the "oneness from which all things are created," offering a modern path to religious experience.
• Sir John Tavener: The Lamb. A piece noted for its ability to uplift and sanctify the soul through "inspired melody".
• Morten Lauridsen: Works like O Magnum Mysterium, which strive for the "magical and fulfilling musical experiences" that leave the listener transformed.
