Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

1. Describe symptoms (sensory vs motor) for each peripheral sacral nerve: pudendal (dorsal, perineal, and rectal branches), sciatic, superior and inferior gluteal, coccygeal nerves
2. Name common causes of injury for each nerve
3. Identify the anatomy and pathway of each nerve
4. Perform neural tension test for differential diagnoses when applicable
5. Perform mobilization of nerve
6. Perform neural/fascial pathway to release surrounding peri-neural structures from common regions of entrapment
7. Perform local balancing/integration of nerve
8. Perform neural gliding and sliding of nerve when applicable
9. Prescribe a home program to maintain neural mobility or improve brain to nerve pathway
10. Address local osseous and visceral restrictions that can be directly affecting the nerve, including the following relationships
    • Uterus and sacrum
    • Sacrum and coccyx
    • Sacro/coccygeal region with sacrotuberous and sacrospinous ligaments
    • Coccyx torsion and malposition
    • Deep and superficial fascial restrictions in the ischiorectal fossa
    • Inferior dural tube and anococcygeal ligament
