This four-hour, remote course covers current concepts regarding the evaluation and treatment of the sacroiliac joint (SIJ). The course will be taught by former NHL physical therapist and athletic trainer Steve Dischiavi, PT, PhD, DPT, MPT, SCS, ATC, COMT. Recent literature will be reviewed, that suggests rehabilitation specialists should transition away from an outdated narrative regarding sacroiliac joint pain and adopt an examination and treatment approach that aligns more closely with a contemporary evidence-based pain science model. The course will cover why utilizing a contemporary narrative will move the profession forward with a new paradigm for this region of the body. Participants will be pleased that an easy-to-follow full exam sequence will be provided succinctly in a half-day course. The exam sequence will be followed by treatment strategies that align with the methodology of the exam, leaving the clinician with a clear-and-concise treatment strategy that can easily be integrated into their practice come Monday morning!
