The Combined Approach to the Sacroiliac Joint

Two day workshop

The course will cover manipulative, mobilisation and muscle energy techniques and exercises prescription for pelvic motion dysfunction. The course consolidates traditional models of pelvic girdle assessment and treatment with current research and philosophies of management. It aims to provide a straightforward yet comprehensive approach to the wide variety of pelvic disorders that present to musculoskeletal physiotherapists. Clinical reasoning models that are traditionally osteopathic in nature will be modified and updated to complement contemporary physiotherapy practice. Sacroiliac instability will be discussed in detail in view of current research on the functional anatomy and mechanics of stability of the region. The course has been taught in the United Kingdom in various forms since 1996. Components of the course have been taught on the masters programme at University College London and for the MACP.
