In this episode, Lynn breaks down why the pelvic outlet – not just the sacroiliac joint – may be a key contributor to postpartum pain, heaviness, and persistent pelvic floor tension. She explores the biomechanics of birth, how the inlet and outlet function as a reciprocal system, and why most traditional treatment approaches only address the top half of the pelvis. She shares clinical examples of pregnant and postpartum clients whose pain, tailbone tension, and pelvic heaviness resolved quickly once the ischial tuberosities and sacrum were mobilized and brought back toward midline. She also shares emerging research on sacral slope changes with parity and why sacral flexion often remains long after delivery – even decades later.

Episode Highlights ✨

• The inlet and outlet function as a seesaw
• Sacral flexion & widened ischial tuberosities drive symptoms
• Mobility matters more than position
• Rebalancing bones + resetting muscles changes outcomes fast

If we want faster recoveries and truly resolved postpartum symptoms – we have to start treating the pelvic outlet.
