 LPI: Lumbo-Pelvic Integration

 Manual Therapy  Lumbar Spine

LUMBO-PELVIC INTEGRATION offers an integrated approach to somatic dysfunction of the lumbar spine and pelvic girdle. Osteopathic method with an emphasis on anatomy, arthrokinematics, myokinematics and pathomechanics. Extensive hands on lab experience with identification of specific positional and motion restrictions will be stressed. Muscle Energy Technique with alternative positions and treatment strategies will be discussed. Additionally, integration of joint mobilization/manipulation, STM and NMR techniques with specific strategies for prescribing a home exercise program will be presented. Core curriculum for the Institute of Physical Art's CFMT certification.

COURSE OBJECTIVE AND GOALS

At the conclusion of the LPI - Lumbo-Pelvic Integration seminar, the participant should be able to:
1. Describe the normal and abnormal biomechanics of the lumbar spine in the neutral and non-neutral postures.
2. Describe the normal and abnormal biomechanics of the sacroiliac (SI), ilio-sacral (IS), sacro-coccygeal and pubic symphyseal articulations, about their proposed axes of movement.
3. Describe the normal and abnormal myokinematics of the lumbo-pelvic and lower quarter regions identifying potential sites of "myofascial / neurovascular entrapment".
4. Describe the significance and role of myofascial dysfunction (MFD) as a "primary motion restrictor" in "movement and positional dysfunction" of the lumbo-pelvic girdle region.
5. Perform a biomechanical evaluation of the lumbar spine and pelvic girdle region, identifying aberrant biomechanics of the same (positional/motion dysfunction) differentiating lumbar spine, ilio-sacral, sacro-ilial and sacro-coccygeal dysfunction.
6. Identify at least twelve (12) specific, primary movement/positional dysfunctions of the pelvic girdle.
7. Identify the relationships and distinctions between spondylogenic, radicular, neurogenic, viscerogenic and psychogenic pain syndromes of the lumbo-pelvic girdle complex.
8. Perform a variety of "traditional and non-traditional" Muscle Energy (MET), Soft Tissue Mobilization (STM) and Neuromuscular Re-Education techniques in a safe and efficacious manner.
9. Incorporate various "schools of thought" and treatment strategies (ie PNF, Functional Technique, Joint Mobilization/Manipulation, McKenzie, Maitland approach, Functional Orthopedics and Function Mobilization) with the Osteopathic MET methodology.
10. Demonstrate the importance of a "prescriptive" home exercise program (HEP) relative to specific motion/positional dysfunction of the lumbo-pelvic girdle region.
