The Anatomy of the Pelvic Girdle Course is a very interesting refresher. The pelvis wasn't covered thoroughly at varsity and it is actually so complex that it really needs to be

This course will give you all the necessary anatomy surrounding the pelvic girdle, while also guiding the therapist in areas to assess. The course talks about anatomy in a transferable way, by stating common findings making it easier to link to current clients or clients that may come to you in the future.

I think this course is the next step up after qualifying as a Physio. It gives a very good understanding of the functional side of our anatomy knowledge. Therefore should be a great help with patient presentation.
