Hi Noelle, That explains the 's' on the word bones, but it does not explain why some people call them sitz bones. I've heard of a sitz bath, but I still hold that SITZ bones is incorrect. At least SIT bones can be explained.
Hi Suzanne, The Ischial Tuberosities can be referred to as sit bones, sitting bones or sitz bones. The word "sitz" comes from a German verb "sitzen" meaning "to sit". I hope this clarifies things for you.
Suzanne - They’re both colloquialisms, and they’re both easier to say than ischial tuberosities when you’re cueing quickly and for accuracy. Arguing that one is correct is like arguing soda versus pop.
Patti S thank you for taking this class again and for leaving this comment. I agree, and I do the same. It's always good to go back and re-take, re-listen, feel new connections etc.
