Inhoud

This course will review the most updated terminology and research for coccyx pain, as well as the functional anatomy and relevant biomechanics. You will learn about the risk factors, including lifestyle factors that influence coccyx pain as well as how to perform a physical examination, including a Digital Rectal Examination (DRE). You’ll also understand how to provide targeted manual therapy and promote self-management, including exercises, for this patient group. Conservative and surgical management will be discussed, as well as the current evidence for both. Effective communication and building a strong therapeutic alliance with your patients will also be discussed. At the end of the course you will review a case study allowing demonstration and reinforcement of clinical reasoning required to effectively manage patients with coccyx pain.
Using a biopsychosocial framework combined with the latest evidence and almost 20 years of clinical experience, this 7-hour course aims to improve your confidence and competence in managing people presenting with coccyx pain.
