Description
In Functional Anatomy of the Pelvis and the Sacroiliac Joint author and respected bodywork specialist John Gibbons looks at one of the most important areas of the body: the pelvis and the sacroiliac joint.
He takes readers on a fascinating journey of enlightenment; teaching us to recognise pain and dysfunctional patterns that arise from the pelvic girdle.
Gibbons addresses key issues such as:
The walking/gait cycle and its relationship to the pelvis
Leg length discrepancy and its relationship to the kinetic chain and the pelvis
The laws of spinal mechanics
The relationship of the hip joint; gluteal muscles; lumbar spine to the pelvis
Sacroiliac joint screening
In addition; he provides step-by-step techniques to identify and correct a number of impaired patterns as well as functional exercises for the pelvis that promote recovery.
