Evaluation and Treatment of Pelvic-Hip Complex

About the Course
This course is designed to educate the practicing clinician on how to rule out suspected medical red flags. The clinician will then learn evidence-based evaluation techniques to identify not only the presence of sacroiliac joint dysfunction but the specific dysfunction of the 10 common presentations. Tissue-specific impairments will then be addressed with a variety of manual therapy techniques including instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization, muscle energy techniques, joint manipulations, and therapeutic exercise.
