> Even as much as a disalignment of a degree forward or backward rotation in the pelvis, caused by sitting for a long time and thereby shortening the back muscle...

This doesn’t pass the sniff test. Your pelvis tilts by more than a degree just from slightly tightening your glutes.

Also, how does sitting shorten the back muscles? Sitting puts the back in a mild state of flexion.

Put another way, [citation needed]

The condition is called anterior or posterior pelvic tilt. However you are right that the back muscles are not the responsible muscles and it comes from somewhere else. Thing is while looking up the issue I see many different causes stated. So the cause might be different in different people.

1 degree doesn’t make for anterior or posterior pelvic tilt. Also a number of doctors who specialize in fitness (e.g. Austin Baraki) do not recognize this as a legitimate disordered condition anyway.
