05.01.2022 Another midpelvis opening that I love is stair climbing!! I’m not sure all my clients love it as much as me though... Sideways walking up stairs incorporates t...he elements of midpelvis opening: sideways and uneven hip movements. I recommend holding onto the railing and having your supportive partner walk lower on the stairs than you as an additional source of support. You can also try double steps if your mobility and strength allow for it! I would still step down with single steps, but explore it!
