The Basics of Sacroiliac Mobilization Course Description The greatest strength of this class is its ability to simplify a seemingly complex region of the body and give the clinician a set of tools to use with confidence on Monday morning. A unique aspect of this course is how it clarifies often ambiguous treatments with the pelvis; giving seasoned clinicians a more holistic way of treating the pelvis. As with all of our manual therapy courses, this seminar will follow a a progression of principles and reinforce them throughout the 16 hours, is at least 75% hands-on lab, and will give the clinician hands-on skills they use immediately upon their return to the clinical setting.

What do people have to say about the Sacroiliac Course?

Absolutely great course. I got more out of this than the last 6 courses I've taken. - Seattle, WA The material was presented in such a manner that it was actaully hard NOT to understand it. - Portland, OR This is the third course I've been to on SI dysfunction, but this is the first time I've come away with an understanding of sacral dysfunction. - Kansas City, MO I'll be able to apply my new knowledge in the clinic tomorrow. - Los Angeles, CA He really cared how much we learned. The difficult material was presented in such a manner that it was doable and reproducable. - Portland, OR The format was excellent - continued repetition with easily understood explanations. - Detroit, MI I must admit that before this I was afraid of the SI, I now feel confident to treat it when the opportunity arises. - Detroit, MI I really enjoyed the course and have already helped a 16 year old scoliotic patient, a chronic hip bursitis, and traumatic SI strain - not bad for two days work. - Chalrlotte, NC (2 days post course)
