Pelvis

The pelvis is a bowl composed of circles, holes and arches.

The pelvic bowl is free swinging around the two femur heads of the legs, and connects at the back to the sacrum and spine.

It is one of the three primary body weights, aligning with the skull and thorax around a vertical axis for efficient posture.

It is a highly mobile structure, constantly responding to activity below and above.

The pelvic floor is a horizontal diaphragm formed of ligaments and muscle tissue.
