The Integrated Pelvis:Treatment of Pelvis & Lumbar Spine Level 2
A Functional approach to assessment, treatment & stabilisation of the lumbo-pelvic region
In the past decade research has provided us with a clearer understanding of the biomechanics of the lumbo-pelvic region, and the mechanisms that regulate mobility, and assist load transfer through the lumbo-pelvic region in order to maintain stability during functional activities.
This 2 day practical course reviews current research in lumbo-pelvic anatomy, & biomechanics, in order to provide a biomechanical framework on which to base assessment and treatment of the lumbo-pelvic region. The articular and Muscle Energy Techniques for the lumbar and pelvic articulations (Level 1 course) are reviewed, while appropriate application of manipulation techniques for the pelvis is discussed and practiced.
Integration of myo-fascial techniques and assessment of neural mobility are applied within the biomechanical model for treatment of specific back pain presentations. This is followed by a discussion into the effects of joint dysfunction on muscular activation and motor control. A specific program for rehabilitation of core stability and graded retraining of optimal lumbo-pelvic stabilisation is presented.
Course Aims:
- Review anatomy and biomechanics of the pelvis and lumbar spine and the definitions of joint stability and functional load transfer through the lumbo-pelvic region
- Apply a biomechanical model in order to define dysfunction in the lumbo-pelvic region
- Present a biomechanical framework as a basis for assessment & differential diagnosis of articular and muscular function in the lumbar spine and pelvic region, and alterations to lumbo-pelvic stability
- Provide practical sessions during which muscle energy and articular techniques for specific Musculo-skeletal dysfunctions of the lumbar spine and pelvic joints are reviewed.
- Discuss the application of specific manipulation techniques for the sacroiliac joint, with practical application
- Integrate myo-fascial techniques, neural mobilisation, and SINGS techniques as part of a wholistic approach to treatment of the lumbo-pelvic-hip regio
- Application of a specific exercise program for retraining lumbo-pelvic stability
