Biomechanics of Pelvic Support

The biomechanics of pelvic support involves understanding how muscles, ligaments, and bones work together to stabilize the pelvis, which bears the weight of the upper body and supports vital organs. These structures act like a supportive framework, maintaining alignment during movement and activities. Proper function depends on the strength, flexibility, and coordination of these tissues. When support is weakened—due to factors like pregnancy, aging, or injury—the pelvis can become unstable, potentially leading to pain or issues like organ prolapse. Understanding these dynamics helps in diagnosing and treating pelvic disorders effectively.
