SI Joint Myths and How To Really Treat Sacral and Low Back Pain (1.5 CEs)

Many massage therapists encounter clients diagnosed with sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction, yet modern research and clinical experience challenge the validity of this diagnosis.

This course debunks common misconceptions about SI joint dysfunction and provides an evidence-based approach to treating sacral and low back pain. Participants will explore the anatomy and biomechanics of the SI joint, understand why the joint itself is not the source of pain, and learn how muscle dysfunction—particularly trigger points in the quadratus lumborum and gluteal muscles—are the true culprits.

Through practical demonstrations, therapists will learn techniques to identify and treat the actual sources of pain, improving client outcomes. This course is essential for any bodyworker or manual therapist looking to refine their assessment and treatment strategies for sacral and low back pain.
