CLASS CONSPECTUS

 

Ample hands on instruction, palpation and technique practice

  • Learn how to assess and work with eight different Pelvis misalignment patterns

  • Acquire elegant and effective manual technique for balancing the Pelvis as a whole and especially as it relates to the SI Joint

  • Learn to palpate and create pliability and balance in the Thoracolumbar Fascia, lower “Paraspinals” and four different ligaments associated with the Sacroiliac Joint and lumbar spine

  • Gain a comprehensive understanding of Sacrum and Sacroilliac Joint mechanics and pathomechanics *

  • Learn soft tissue joint mobilization techniques for treating perceived SI joint and low back pain

  • Learn to identify and treat sacral rotations, torsions and shears*

  • Learn about the theoretical movements of the Sacrum in the context of gait

Loads of instruction about assessing the SI Joint and Pelvis

* some researchers and clinicians regard some pathimechanical behavior ascribed to the SI joint as theoretical or even spurious. We will consider these viewpoints as we learn how to “treat” the SI Joint

Plenty of anatomy review, instruction and discussion

“When the pelvis is not balanced, we do not have the upward thrust that creates zero balance, the sense of weightlessness that can be experienced in the body. When the pelvis is aberated, it does not allow this equipoise, this tranquility in experience that a balanced pelvis shows. The combined forces acting on a balanced pelvis are in a moment of inertia near zero. It is always in dynamic action, but the forces balance out to near zero.”
— Ida Rolf
