Description

The body part you avoid or ignore. As many as 30% of people presenting with complaints of low back pain (LBP) have a sacroiliac joint component. Clinically, the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) can be challenging, confusing and controversial as a source of pain. This course will simplify the vast array of assessment options for pain location and pattern, patient posture/movements and clusters of manual provocation tests to clarify a working diagnosis. Through lecture, video demonstration and case study you will come away with a simple and efficient way to evaluate this region and help improve everyday function for what can be an elusive condition.
