Kaṭi-adjacent pelvic focus

Lower-trunk and sacral proxy

The pelvic focus marks a lower-trunk region often included in whole-body oiling demonstrations and marma-oriented teaching. It is a target-organ projection of an oil-and-region classification, not a claim that the pelvis is a single therapeutic locus or that pressure is appropriate there for everyone.
