Is it factual that your bones, spines and ribcage shift, i am studying biosience and dont understand the connection of skeletal muscles to pelvic musc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscles Pull onBones: Muscles only contract, never extend (unless stretched by outside forces). E.g. Diaphragm muscles (dome shaped) contract. Since edges are attached to lower edges of rib cage the dome flattens: pushing abdominal organs down & allowing air pressure to expand lungs within rib cage. Similarly pelvic muscles contract to lift abdominal organs preventing bulging through the large peroneal pelvic opening.
