The sacroiliac joint is an area that remains contentious despite all of the research that’s taken place and in this episode, we are chatting to Wilfried Simon, an osteopath and physio from Belgium about the misconceptions, if it can be a cause of pain and what to do if it is
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- It’s a connection point but there isn’t much movement, only 3 degrees and its deep within the spine
- If you want the patient to be able to treat themselves and achieve autonomy they have to understand what’s wrong
- When you have manipulation it’s about what it creates overall including how the person thinks about it
- Identify the movement that is painful and work with the patient to make the movement less sensitive through changing the axis of the movement and building the confidence of the patient to complete movements
- Trust the future and the process, not very day is the same, not every day is pain free but that’s what make the patient stronger and you stronger
BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s important to treat the person not the problem’
‘There is aways a combination of what’s happening mechanically to the joint and how the patient perceives and feels about what’s happening’
