Like the simplest thing I could suggest to your listeners is you can just get down on the ground and put your pelvis up on something like a gorgeous ball because that's going to give you traction so that there's the palpation piece and you're already, you know, positioned in the recline and you do very, very slow breathing there. You're hopefully in a safe place where you're doing this.

And then you say to yourself, you know, my breath is home. or I embody my body. One of those things. And there you have it for five minutes.

So one of my friends, Katie St. Clair, calls the respiratory diaphragm the thoracic floor, which I think is hilarious. And this pelvic floor is another tissue that has horizontal fibers, you know, crisscrossing at this bottom of the bony funnel of the pelvis.

Yes, and it's going to have movement that mirrors the action of the thoracic diaphragm, of the respiratory diaphragm rather. So as the diaphragm descends and applies pressure into the viscera and provides this distension, the circumferential distension to the core, there should also be a little bit of stretch in the pelvic floor. Unless your pelvis is akimbo, unless your pelvis is rotated inwards,

pretty far out of the pressure wave of the diaphragm so if the diaphragm isn't able to exert this rhythmical pressure down into the pelvic floor it's probably going to exert it elsewhere and so one of the classic shapes is you see the kind of the banana back, that rib thrust, anterior tilted pelvis.

So if the diaphragm isn't pressurizing down to create stretch in the pelvic floor, which is very healthy for it, it's going to pressurize forward into the front of the abdomen, into the rectus sheath, into a strong ligament called the linea alba, which... often is breached and creates what's known as a diastasis recti. So these are fascial systems upon systems.

These are connected sheaths that rely on the correct amount of integrity in all layers for this great global response.

Again.

Low back victim yet again.

Yeah. I mean, there's so many different things to discuss here. It's like, oh, well, you've got... Chronic hip pain. That's going to move your pelvis a little bit away from your center of mass so that you're not putting as much weight on that uncomfortable hip or knee or ankle or whatever it is. But, you know, people are perfectly imperfect. We're incredibly...
