Vishnuasana (Lying Down On Sides) For Stretching Pelvic Joints
Human body is the most complicated structure in the world, and you never know which bone, vein, artery, joint or anything gets affected. In order to be healthy, it's essential that all the parts work in a synchronised way, in coherence with one another.
Pelvis is a lower part of the trunk in the body, between the thighs and abdomen. Here, the spine is connected with the lower limbs by the two hip bones.
In humans, the bony pelvis has a gap in the middle, and the gap is even wider in females than in the males because of the process of delivery, which the lady has to go through for the baby to pass through this gap while being born.
