Did you know the pelvis is actually made of 3 separate bones - the ilium, ishium and pubis- that fuse together starting in childhood to your early 20’s?
These three form a bony bowl-like structure known as the pelvis. It contains organs and structures that are responsible for digestion, bowel and bladder actions and sexual and reproductive functions.
Directly attached to the pelvis are large muscle groups like the quads, glutes, abdominals, spinal erector muscles and hamstrings that connect the trunk to the lower extremities. Symmetrical motion in the pelvis can impact biomechanics (such as running, walking and squatting), comfort levels during pregnancy and postpartum, and can even impact labor and delivery.
