From everything I've seen pelvic tilt is pretty overrated as a core issue, same with kyphotic posture and neck strain. Rather than try to directly correct them, it's better to just strengthen the postural muscles. They're symptoms of lack of upper body musculature and neurological recruitment, not diseases.

Most of the reviews of PT literature I've read say "well you can spend a lot of time and effort trying to fix kyphosis/pelvic tilt through cueing, stretching, and bracing but it's not effective", whereas strength endurance exercises indirectly fix it and other issues as well. I'd love to hear more though, I have suffered from both and only was able to fix them with strength training. Ditto low back pain.
