About the course

Low back and pelvic pain, hip, groin and lower limb symptoms are amongst the most common symptoms seen in the sporting and general patient population alike, and are often chronic and recurrent. The manual therapist faces the challenge of identifying and attempting to correct the myriad predisposing causes of these presentations.

Interposing the forces affecting the trunk and the lower limb is the pelvis, and research is gradually clarifying its role in attenuating the load transfer through this area. The sacroiliac joints and pubis are well-established sources of pain in their own right but in addition, alteration of the normal functional dynamics of the pelvis has been shown to be associated with increased hamstring activity, inhibition of the glutei, alterations in coordination of the vastii at the knee, and changes to coordination and control around the trunk, so can be involved in a wide variety of trunk and lower limb pathologies.

Treatment to the pelvis is clinically effective in improving movement and control and a precise assessment of the pelvis can reveal valuable information about the nature of neuromuscular deficit that requires specific rehabilitation.

This intensively practical and clinically orientated course will guide participants through the assessment, treatment, interpretation and management of pelvic movement and control dysfunction.
