Course Overview
Comprehensive Approach to Pelvic Somatic Dysfunction
Unlock the knowledge and skills needed to effectively diagnose and treat pelvic somatic dysfunction with this comprehensive course. Designed for healthcare professionals, this course covers both foundational and advanced techniques for assessing and treating pelvic imbalances.
You'll begin with the essential diagnostic tools, including the Standing Flexion Test, ASIS Compression Test, and Pelvic Diagnosis using Inherent Motion. Learn precise anterior and posterior palpation methods and understand common pelvic dysfunction patterns through easy-to-follow frameworks.
The treatment section delves into powerful osteopathic manual therapy (OMT) techniques. Master counterstrain techniques for high ilium, low ilium, and iliopsoas dysfunctions. Explore myofascial release, sacroiliac articulatory techniques, and muscle energy approaches for innominate and pubic dysfunctions. You’ll also learn thrust techniques for anterior and posterior innominates in both supine and lateral recumbent positions.
To complement manual therapy, the course introduces essential exercises for patient self-care, including iliopsoas and quadriceps stretches, pubic self-mobilization, and positional ease techniques. These practical exercises enhance the effectiveness of your treatments and empower your patients to actively participate in their recovery.
With step-by-step guidance, clear demonstrations, and actionable insights, this course equips you to address pelvic dysfunctions confidently.

This course is mainly designed for professionals and not beginners, though I realize it said in the beginning it is for therapists. However, since it said that one is not required to know anatomy, (and physical therapists already know anatomy) I thought it would be okay for me. It is also crucial to show videos of real people doing these exercises with clear explanations, like you can find on Youtube. It would be good if the instructor could add a page in the beginning like a glossary for expressions throughout the course such as innominate, lateral, shear, inflare, outflare, counterstrain and so on. What I can say after going through the whole course 1.5 times so far, is that you don't necessarily have to be a physical therapist to learn this, as long as you have some knowledge of the pelvis and lower back issues, if you have a knack for physical therapy type of treatments, you mainly need to write down the words you don't know, look them up on google, look up pelvic anatomy for a few minutes and go through this course 2-3 times and then you can get the gist of it. Thanks!
