DESCRIPTION:
This intensive, hands-on workshop is designed for experienced veterinary rehabilitation professionals wishing to refine their diagnostic assessment skills, elevate manual therapy techniques, and deepen clinical reasoning for complex pelvic and sacroiliac dysfunctions.

This workshop includes advanced pelvic biomechanics, functional assessment, and targeted manual interventions that restore musculoskeletal symmetry, optimize neuromuscular control, and enhance outcomes in canine patients. You will learn to assess and treat the pelvis with the accuracy and insight of a specialist.

Learn how subtle asymmetries and compensatory patterns impact locomotion, recovery, mobility, and chronic dysfunction—and gain the tools to correct them through rehabilitation and precision manual therapy. From elite sporting dogs to post-surgical cases, this workshop will transform how you assess, think, and treat.

Key Focus Areas

• Advanced Biomechanics & Functional Assessment – Understand pelvic motion, load transfer, and the SI joint’s role in spinal and hindlimb dynamics.

• Precision Palpation & Pelvis/SI Joint Testing – Detect and interpret subtle dysfunctions through refined palpation and testing

.• Manual Therapy & Mobilization Mastery – Apply high-specificity SI joint and pelvis mobilizations and advanced soft tissue manual therapy techniques.

• Rehabilitation Integration – Design progressive, functional rehab programs

• Clinical Reasoning & Case Synthesis – Build confidence in identifying primary vs. compensatory dysfunctions and tailoring interventions for optimal outcomes.
