Evidence based understanding of clinical anatomy, diagnostics and treatment of the pelvis

Over this course Dr Vleeming will present his research work and distil a 20 year career into a digestible weekend workshop that promises a new understanding and a set of new skills for practise.

This course will be especially related to better diagnostics and treatment of pelvic girdle patients. The course has both theoretical clinical content as well as hands on demonstrations on diagnostics and treatment. Dr Vleeming will show both the clinical research and his clinical work with patients.
