Description

People across the lifespan can have complaints of pelvic girdle pain including pain around the sacroiliac joints. This can include young athletes, women of child-bearing age, and even those in their elderly years. Intermittent urinary leakage to total incontinence can also be present. Therapists in all arenas of care, from acute care to rehabilitation to outpatient, and areas of specialty from pediatric to geriatric are confronted with pelvic girdle pain complaints from their patients. Diagnostic approaches are known to lag behind research and are rampant in ruling out/in sacroiliac dysfunction. The purpose of this presentation will be to review the evidence in assessing and treating sacroiliac dysfunction, provide clear recommendations, and introduce The Pelvic Girdle Musculoskeletal Method (PGM Method SM).
