Pelvis, Sacroiliac Joint & Lumbar Spine Masterclass

You will learn

In this course you will learn how to identify specific pelvic and lumbar dysfunctions within the musculo-skeletal system, and how to harness powerful and effective realignment techniques to restore function to the body.

Author and lecturer John Gibbons shares his many years of expertise as he guides you through a comprehensive understanding of the anatomy of the pelvis and very quickly focuses on the biomechanics of the sacroiliac joint, pelvis and lumbar spine.

Once this has been learnt, John then teaches you how to assess, treat and rehabilitate any dysfunctions found within this complex but highly rewarding area.

This course will dramatically change your treatment protocols with patients that present with lower back and pelvic girdle pain!

These are just some of the many lessons John will guide you through: 

In addition, he provides step-by-step techniques to identify and correct a number of impaired patterns as well as functional exercises for the pelvis that promote recovery.

The principles described can be incorporated very quickly and effectively into a treatment plan to assist in the rehabilitation of anyone recovering from injury. In particular, this course will provide the therapist with vital anatomical knowledge of the pelvic girdle and associated areas of the hip and lumbar spine. 

On completion of the course you will have the knowledge and practical experience necessary to identify, assess and treat specific dysfunction within the musculo-skeletal framework of the pelvic girdle & lumbar spine and be equipped to perform a variety of techniques to help restore function, leading to greater treatment success, happier customers and a more profitable business.
