QIOLOGICAL E396 - ROOT AND POWER-ATTENDING TO THE PELVIS
Dr. Krystal had the opportunity to speak with Michael Max on Qiological Episode 396 - Root & Power, Attending to the Pelvis.
The body holds experience in layers—some are structural, some energetic, and others deeply emotional. Nowhere is this more evident than in the pelvis, a place of both power and vulnerability, stability and flow. It’s the root of movement, the center of balance, and a space where emotions and history are stored, often in ways we don’t fully recognize.
Listen into this discussion as we explore how the pelvis serves as both a structural and energetic anchor, the interplay between breath, posture, and pelvic function, how emotions and trauma can reside in the body, and the delicate art of meeting a patient where they are—physically, emotionally, and energetically.
