Do you want to learn hands-on skills to improve clinical reasoning and effectiveness of your treatment? Are you frustrated with working on the same area and not making a meaningful change to the patient’s experience?
In this course you’ll learn clinical reasoning skills to more effectively help your patients. In self-paced online lectures you’ll learn the components of an excellent intake interview to make your assessment and treatment tailored to each patients needs. During the in-person part of the course you’ll refine your hands-on skills. Learn hands-on assessment techniques to determine where to treat and how to treat each unique patient. You’ll learn treatment principles and techniques to help facilitate ease and movement that is meaningful for each patient. You’ll leave with an assessment framework that you can grow into and techniques that you can apply immediately.

Course Description
Pelvic Girdle pain is a common complaint that is often frustrating for patients and clinicians. Pelvic pain can be facilitated by all 3 pain mechanisms and mechanical drivers can be within the pelvic girdle or at distant sites in the body. This course will help you make sense of this complexity and give you clinical reasoning tools and treatment techniques to help your patients more effectively. In this course you’ll learn to tailor assessment and treatment to each individual patient using evidence-based principles and clinical reasoning.
The assessment strategies I teach in this course are based on my learning from renowned physiotherapist Diane Lee. The treatment techniques I teach on this course are derived from Structural Integration, Massage Therapy and Visceral Manipulation.

It's made me think differently
The clinical reasoning skills that Mark is able to teach are skills that can be used well beyound the scope of just this course. The hands on pelvic techniques can be incorporated easily into practice, and combined with good clinical reasoning, be really effective for the client.
