This course introduces the Functional Manual Therapy(R) (FMT) paradigm for the management of pelvic girdle dysfunctions. The pelvic girdle is an important link in the kinetic chain, influencing function and symptoms of structures in other regions. The fundamentals of this system are demonstrated through the management of a complex pain patient. Gregory S. Johnson progresses the viewer through the subjective and objective evaluation. A systematic and individualized treatment plan and progression is presented for the management of this patient's pelvic girdle dysfunctions, as well as an evaluation for system-wide functional enhancements, which result from the FMT intervention.
This course is part of a six-part series with Gregg and Vicky Johnson, which is designed to provide the participant with a working understanding of the FMT system of patient care through live patient demonstrations and lectures to support the clinical reasoning behind the progression of treatment and skills used:
