Anatomy of the pelvis
Dr. Krystal Lynn Couture, PT LAc discusses the anatomy of the pelvis, focusing on the bony structure, joints, and muscles. The pelvis consists of the iliac crests, pubic bone, and ischial tuberosities. The sacrum, coccyx, and sacroiliac joints were highlighted as key components.
