The Basics of Sacroiliac Mobilization

This course takes a complex region of the body, which is often not taught well in school, and simplifies its assessment and treatment approach. You’ll leave confident in your ability to assess and treat the SI joint with highly effective techniques that produce immediate results! We’ll break down the biomechanics of the pelvic girdle complex and how it contributes to low back pain, both theoretically and using specific case study examples. You’ll then practice several different diagnostic tests through static and movement assessments to help guide your treatment. Treatment techniques cover pubic, iliosacral, and sacral dysfunctions plus more, giving new and seasoned clinicians a comprehensive way of treating the area.

As with all our manual therapy courses, this course is at least 75% hands-on lab, and will give you skills you can use immediately upon returning to the clinic.
