Assessment and Treatment of the Lumbar and Sacral Ligaments - 8 CE hours
Low back pain is a highly prevalent condition in Belgium, affecting an estimated 12% of the adult population. It is the leading cause of disability-adjusted life years among musculoskeletal disorders, resulting in an enormous economic burden of approximately Ã˝2.3 billion annually in direct healthcare costs. Even when back pain is just a nuisance, it can significantly impact their fundamental quality of life. Massage can be a helpful tool in the recovery and rehabilitation process, but, unfortunately, it is also quite common for clients to receive massage that has a minimal impact on the source of their pain and discomfort.
One of the elements commonly missing when working with back injuries is a better understanding of, and ability to specifically palpate, the terrain of the low back and sacrum, particularly connective tissue structures like the various supporting ligaments. These ligaments are every bit as important as the muscles, bones, and fascia, but are often overlooked by massage therapists, chiropractors, and physical therapists.
In this class, you will learn to palpate and treat some of the most commonly injured ligaments in the low back and pelvis, including the iliolumbar, intertransverse, sacroiliac, sacrotuberous, supraspinous, and interspinous ligaments, as well as a few key postural muscles. Clients notice the difference right away when they feel you touch the "right spots", and their chronic pain and tension begins to dissolve from the inside out.
