Diagnose pelvis using inherent motion with gentle palpation to detect craniosacral motion and external and internal rotation, identify restrictions indicating inherent extension or flexion, and treat with myofascial release.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Unlock the knowledge and skills needed to effectively diagnose and treat pelvic somatic dysfunction with this comprehensive course. Designed for healthcare professionals, this course covers both foundational and advanced techniques for assessing and treating pelvic imbalances.
You'll begin with the essential diagnostic tools, including the Standing Flexion Test, ASIS Compression Test, and Pelvic Diagnosis using Inherent Motion. Learn precise anterior and posterior palpation methods and understand common pelvic dysfunction patterns through easy-to-follow frameworks.
The treatment section delves into powerful osteopathic manual therapy (OMT) techniques. Master counterstrain techniques for high ilium, low ilium, and iliopsoas dysfunctions. Explore myofascial release, sacroiliac articulatory techniques, and muscle energy approaches for innominate and pubic dysfunctions. You’ll also learn thrust techniques for anterior and posterior innominates in both supine and lateral recumbent positions.
To complement manual therapy, the course introduces essential exercises for patient self-care, including iliopsoas and quadriceps stretches, pubic self-mobilization, and positional ease techniques. These practical exercises enhance the effectiveness of your treatments and empower your patients to actively participate in their recovery.
With step-by-step guidance, clear demonstrations, and actionable insights, this course equips you to address pelvic dysfunctions confidently. Whether you’re a physiotherapist, osteopath, or manual therapist, this course will enhance your clinical practice and help you achieve better outcomes for your patients.
