Phillipa Butler PT MSCP presents this short tutorial suitable for massage, manual therapists and fitness professionals - subject always (of course!) to lawful scope of practice.
The tutorial covers assessment for lumbopelvic stability as performed with the client on the table, and with movement.
Lumbar-pelvic instability is the result of inability for the supporting structures of the trunk to maintain the optimum position of the spine and pelvic girdle.
The stability of the trunk and pelvis is provided by a combination of passive, active and neural control. Instability arises when one or more of these components is not functioning appropriately and support of good skeletal alignment is not provided.
Postural Muscles include:
Pelvic floor
Transversus abdominus
Multifidus
Diaphragm
