I wonder how easy or difficult it is to palpate and mobilize the bladder and uterus if a person has a lot of adipose tissue on their abdomen? I also see how this work would be a game changer for back pain.
When working with adipose tissue we need to just intend to the structures we are wanting to address and allow our fingers to sink through the adipose tissue to the bladder and uterus. It just takes more time to sink down in but you can get there. Thanks for asking.
The Ligaments in this area, what are they made up of? It looks like they have more vascularity. Does that make them easier to mobilize and how much actual changing in ligament length is really happening? I guess when I think about ligaments, I think of something that is stiffer and rigid.
So interesting!
We need to remember that the ligaments soften during labor with the hormonal changes and lengthen to allow baby’s to pass through the pelvis. So there are pelvic ligaments and uterine ligaments. The uterine ligaments are made up of all different sorts of tissues and way too much to go into here. They do stretch with the round ligament stretching the most up to 6-8 times its original length. Rachel Shapiro went through the round and uterosacral ligament in her Birth Healing Summit interviews in 2022 and 2023. I cover this information more in my Pregnancy course as well. The pelvic ligaments are more typical in their content. They are made up of fibrous connective tissue and are rich in collagen fibers.
