The focus of this class is the pelvis and hips. The first part of the class reviewed some anatomical understandings of the pelvis and hips. Hopefully this increased awareness of anatomy can be applied towards us being able to move with more ease. In addition to being guided through the 6 fundamental movements of the pelvis and hips we also covered some important concepts. One important concept is that our limbs, our arms and legs, need the support and control of the spine and trunk to move with ease and efficiency. Another concept is the importance of starting contraction from full resting length. We defined the concept of sensory motor amnesia (SMA), how it comes about, and the value of pandiculation to reset the resting length of the muscle. We will continue exploring both the anatomy and movement of the pelvis, hips, and lower limb in future classes.
