Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction and Piriformis Syndrome. The Complete Guide for Physical Therapists

Applications for soft tissue therapy have increased significantly over the last decade. Perhaps the greatest area of growth has been around sports and caring for athletes. Multiple soft tissue, manipulative, and needling techniques have become mainstream tools in the therapist’s tool box, whether aiding in athlete recovery, performance enhancement, or injury prevention.

Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction and Piriformis Syndrome looks at dysfunction and injury, assessment, current understanding from the literature, and evidence-based treatment options at a therapist’s disposal.

This book offers the how but more importantly the why, as to the map of approach one can take: if you cannot answer the WHY when beginning treatment, you shouldn’t really attempt anything until you have an answer.
