Pelvis Diagnosis and Treatment

Apply high ilium counterstrain to reduce tenderness one inch lateral to the posterior superior iliac spine by gentle hip extension and 90-second holds for chronic or acute pain.

Apply high ilium flare-out counterstrain to tender points at inferior lateral angle of the sacrum to relieve back, pelvic, and hip pain; hold for 90 seconds in a prone position.

Master the low ilium counterstrain technique by locating the tender point near the superior pubic ramus and applying a 90-second gentle hold to reduce tenderness toward zero and recheck.

Explains iliopsoas counterstrain for tender points near the ASIS to relieve pelvic, abdominal, and back pain, with a 90-second hold and attention to contraindications.

Explore lumbosacral myofascial release for the pelvic diaphragm to ease low back and pelvic pain and edema. Learn indirect and direct rotation, retest, and guide tissue release toward balance.

Employ the pelvis percussion vibrator to address restricted pelvis motion related to hip, pelvic, and back pain, using side-lying positioning, monitored feedback, speed and pressure adjustments, and retesting.

Demonstrate the anterior innominate muscle energy technique to correct anterior innominate rotation or inferior pubic shear linked to back pain, guiding side-lying setup, contraction, and stretch to restore pelvic alignment.

Master a sacroiliac joint release to relieve back and pelvic pain by placing the patient in lumbar lordosis, anchoring at the inferior posterior superior iliac spine, and guiding a glide.

Perform the anterior innominate thrust in lateral recumbent to address anterior innominate rotation, relieve back and hip pain, and improve pelvic mobility.

Demonstrates the anterior innominate thrust in the supine position to address anterior innominate rotations, with safety assessment, precise leg positioning, breath-assisted thrust, and post-treatment retest.

Perform the posterior innominate thrust in lateral recumbent to correct posterior innominate rotation linked to back pain, hip pain, or short leg syndrome, following safety, contraindications, and positioning, rotation, thrust.

Perform a supine posterior innominate thrust to correct rotation or shear that causes back, pelvic, or hip pain. Use abduction, internal rotation, and a breath-guided caudad tug, then recheck motion.

Practice a supine pubic muscle energy technique to address pubic symphysis compression with resisted knee abduction and adduction, brief 3–5 second holds, a gentle quick thrust, and symmetry retest.

Teach the ilium inflare muscle energy technique in supine patients with pelvic or hip pain, using gentle lateral abduction and 3–5 second isometric contractions to improve symmetry.

Learn a step by step ilium outflare technique to relieve back, pelvic, and hip pain in a supine patient, with contraindication checks, stabilization, isometric resistance, and retests.

Perform a sacroiliac articulatory technique to address si joint restrictions linked to back, pelvic, or hip pain, using lateral sims position and a flex, abduct, rotate, extend sequence, then retest.

Practice iliopsoas position of ease to relieve back and pelvic pain. Rest legs on a chair, cross ankles with painful side on top, and breathe for 2 to 5 minutes.

Perform the iliopsoas stretch to release tension, improve mobility, and support posture. Kneel with a 90-degree lunge, lean forward, and breathe deeply for 10–20 seconds, repeating 1–4 times daily.

Lie on your back, hang one leg off the bed, and pull the other knee to your chest; hold 10–20 seconds and repeat 2–4 times daily to stretch the quadriceps.

Learn a simple at-home pubic self-mobilization to reduce discomfort. Lie on your back, bend knees, press outward against your hands, and squeeze a ball between your knees for 3–5 seconds.
