Trigger Point therapy - Lower Back and the Sacroiliac Joint

Treating the Sacroiliac Joint 

Treating Lower Back Pain - Online Course

Sacroiliac joint pain is implicated in 15% to 20% of chronic low back complaints

In the first part of the 20th century, sacroiliac (SI) joint syndrome was the most common diagnosis for lumbago (low back pain).

Pain in the lower back or buttocks, was generally referred to as Sacroiliac Syndrome or SI joint syndrome. 

For about half a century (1930's - 1980's) most doctors ignored the sacroiliac in the diagnosis and treatment of low back pain, based on the mistaken view that a joint with so little movement could not be the cause of any serious pain syndrome.

Whilst that's generally now known not to be the case, the sacroiliac is still an area that is often overlooked. 

Treating Ligamentous Trigger Points 

This video shows a fabulous trigger point therapy technique that we use daily in our clinics for treating low back pain and have been using for years.

Super easy, super powerful, and super effective.

But ..... as always it's all about developing and honing that sense of touch. You've got to be able to feel the points, and that generally only comes with practice. 

Do not attempt to perform these trigger point therapy techniques unless they fall within your scope of practice.
