Open Potential Bodywork

Think of your pelvis like the pedals in a car. 🚗

It has two settings, and neither one is “wrong” — they’re just for different terrain.

Brake = posterior tilt. Tailbone tucks slightly under, like you’re easing down a hill. Controlled. Grounded. This is what catches you when you need to slow down and stabilize.

Gas = anterior tilt. The front of the pelvis tips forward, like you’re leaning into speed. This is the spring in your step, the lift that carries you forward.

Here’s the thing most of us get wrong: we pick ONE and white-knuckle it all day. Stuck in the brake = that heavy, collapsed, tucked-under feeling. Stuck in the gas = the low-back arch that never quite lets go.

Good posture was never about holding still. It’s about being able to shift — to feel the road change and respond. Downhill, you brake. Picking up speed, you give it gas.

Your pelvis already knows how to drive. The work is just letting it move again. 🌿
