The Pelvis, Sacroiliac Joint & Lumbar Spine Masterclass introduces you, as an already qualified therapist, to advanced and specific techniques with which to examine and treat a variety of musculo-skeletal disorders.
The two-day course is very intense, focussing on the biomechanics of the sacro-iliac joint, pelvis, hip and lumbar spine. Once this has been learnt, John then teaches you how to assess, treat and rehabilitate any dysfunctions that are found within this complex but highly rewarding area.
This course will dramatically change your treatment protocols with patients that present with lower back and pelvic girdle pain!

The advanced nature of the course content requires you to have a high standard of both theoretical and practical knowledge. The minimum level of your ability, therefore, needs to be Level 3 Sport Massage Therapist with ITEC, VTCT, IIST, Premier or similar diploma qualification. If you are an Osteopath, Chiropractor or Physiotherapist you would also benefit greatly from this course.

WHY SHOULD YOU TRAIN WITH ME?
I’m the creator of the Bodymaster Method® and I’ve spent years teaching post-graduate professionals worldwide to become the ‘go-to’ therapist in their area. My courses are built on everything I have learned as an osteopath, writer, researcher and lecturer.
The Bodymaster Method® is different from what you learned at university. You were probably taught to look at the site of pain, possibly perform hands-on therapy, and load the tissue with eccentric loading. The Bodymaster method® teaches you to look at your patient as a whole person, not just at the site of pain.
On completion of this course you will have the knowledge and practical experience necessary to identify, assess and treat specific dysfunction within the musculo-skeletal framework, leading to greater treatment success, happier customers and a more profitable business.
