The biomechanics and functional anatomy of the lumbosacral, sacroiliac and hip joints with a view to joint function, palpation assessment and correctives of dysfunction.
The lumbosacral joint in view of its planar joint function
The sacroiliac joint as a syndesmosis (ligamentous) joint
The femoroacetabular (hip) joint for its spheroidal (ball-and-socket) joint
Kathy provides us with the necessary anatomical information for assessment and show where causes for dysfunctional patterns may lie. The course offers practical tips on palpation assessment and correction along with a discussion on condition-based assessment of treatment of pelvic disorders
