SIJ pain relief for women and men

Melissa was introduced to a manual therapy with elements based in Osteopatic Manipulation several years ago and has found it to quickly pinpoint the cause of hypomobile joint or joints of the pelvis including SI and pubic that are causing symptoms in both women and men.

A brief palpation screen is performed of the hips, pelvis, and low back in sitting and lying down.  Followed by a double spring recoil test in the same positions to determine what motion and which pelvic joint(s) is the most restricted.  This quite often is NOT at the location of symptoms.  Because this is NOT at the location of symptoms, prior treatment you may have received may have failed to fully resolves your symptoms.

This approach differs from her traditional manual physical therapy education that looked the joint being "out of alignment".   Her education like many others, recommended to treat the muscles and joints of hips and back first. Then to look at the pelvic joints.  You may have receive SEVERAL treatment that included stretching and strengthening exercises before the pelvic joints are assessed. This can be costly, time consuming and frustrating.  After a thorough history is taken, the evaluation is performed and treatment started immediatly.  

Treatment takes 3-5 sessions for significant relief.  If approapiate, then you will be given self treatment instructions. 

How this approach differs from other approaches
  • Treatment starts with most resticted movement of the pelvic joint, this MAY NOT be where you have your symptoms
  • Most restricted movement  is determined at end range of motion
  • Significant improvement of symptoms will result in  3-5 sessions
