Bekkenligging

Bekkenligging, also known as pelvic alignment, refers to the position and orientation of the pelvis in relation to the rest of the body. It plays a crucial role in maintaining proper posture, mobility, and overall health. The pelvis is a complex structure composed of the ilium, ischium, and pubis bones, which form a basin-like shape that houses and supports the organs of the lower abdomen and reproductive system.

Proper bekkenligging is essential for optimal functioning of the musculoskeletal system. It influences the alignment of the spine, hips, and legs, which in turn affects gait, balance, and overall body mechanics. Misalignment of the pelvis, often referred to as pelvic dysplasia, can lead to various musculoskeletal issues, including lower back pain, hip pain, and knee problems.

Bekkenligging can be assessed through various methods, including physical examination, imaging techniques such as X-rays or MRI, and specialized tests like the Thomas Test or the Straight Leg Raise Test. Treatment options for pelvic misalignment may include physical therapy, exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, and in some cases, surgical intervention.

Maintaining good bekkenligging is important for individuals of all ages. Regular exercise, particularly activities that focus on core strength and stability, can help promote proper pelvic alignment. Additionally, proper ergonomics and posture during daily activities can contribute to maintaining a healthy pelvis. If you suspect you have pelvic misalignment or are experiencing related symptoms, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
