Abstract

Do not forget to treat sacroiliac joint and the lumbar spine. The supine direct articulatory technique for the lumbar spine is a quick, easy, and very low risk treatment. The six muscle groups of the pelvis are the adductors, abductors, external rotators, internal rotators, extensors, and flexors. Always look for a restriction of motion as a potential cause for the discomfort. Somatic dysfunction is impaired or altered the function of related components of the somatic (body framework) system: skeletal, arthrodial, and myofascial structures; and related vascular, lymphatic, and neural elements. Somatic dysfunction is found in areas where TART exists. (TART: tissue texture changes, asymmetry, restriction in motion, and tenderness) The minor motions, not the major motions, usually become restricted when somatic dysfunction occurs.

The important of injuries to the hip is too much overlooked. To the Sports Physician it should be a subject of the deepest throught.
