Understanding the Pelvis
Why Is The Pelvis Important?
The pelvis sits at the centre of the body and connects the spine and the legs. It acts as a bridge between the upper and lower body and plays an important role in balance, movement and force transfer.
Many aches and pains can be influenced by how the pelvis moves and how well it can adapt to different positions. The goal is not to hold the pelvis in one "perfect" position, but to develop awareness and control so that it can move freely when needed.
Basic Pelvic Anatomy
Think of the pelvis as a bowl made up of several bones joined together. The main parts are:
The two hip bones (one on each side)
The sacrum (a triangular bone at the base of the spine)
The coccyx (tailbone)
The pelvis supports the abdominal organs and provides attachment points for many muscles including:
Abdominal, back and gluteal muscles, hip flexors, hamstrings and pelvic floor muscles
Because so many muscles attach to the pelvis, changes in pelvic position can affect how the whole body feels and moves.
Hypermobility is more than just lax joints...
Hypermobility affects more than just your joints, it influences how your whole body responds and adapts.
Meaningful change happens when we take the time to explore how your body responds & what it needs.
This is slow, intentional work. It is not a quick fix - it’s about building awareness, stability, and strength over time. This process requires patience, curiosity, and compassion but it leads to deeper, longer-lasting change.

What to expect
About me
I work with people with hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) using a movement approach that prioritises safety, stability, and long-term change.
I live with hypermobile EDS myself, and have spent over 30 years navigating chronic pain, fatigue, instability, and injury. That experience shapes how I work.
Many people I work with come to me after years of trying approaches that didn’t work for their bodies—often leaving them feeling worse, confused, or not listened to.
My work is tailored to you, recognising that hypermobility affects everybody differently and needs a more individual, whole-person approach.
