About Part 2
This unit will give us a greater understanding of the pelvis and lower back and how imbalance can cause dysfunction and symptoms. We will see how we can achieve just as good a result by soft tissue work and stretching as going down the more conventional route of manipulation of the joints. You will be amazed at just how effective this is. We will look at:
- Pelvic rotations, torsions and tilts
- How the pelvis can influence the rest of the body
- Working on the larger and smaller muscle groups of the pelvis and back: psoas, piriformis, quadratus lumborum, ilio costalis, latissimus dorsi, obturator, gemellus, iliacus, gluteus max, med and minimus
- Introduction to Muscle Energy Technique (MET); Proprioceptor Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF); Soft Tissue Release (STR) and Neuro Muscular Technique (NMT)
- Placing the body in the most effective positions to receive treatment
- Conditions which can be greatly improved are lower, mid and upper back pain; pelvic discomfort and hip problems.
