Palpation of the Psoas Major Online Course (1 CE Hour)

Description

Course Overview:

The psoas major is one of the most important muscles in the body—yet many therapists struggle to safely, comfortably, and effectively palpate it. In this hands-on one-hour CE video course, Dr. Joe Muscolino provides step-by-step instruction on how to locate and assess both the abdominal and femoral bellies of the psoas major across multiple client positions.

You’ll learn palpation techniques for the abdominal belly:

• Supine
• ¾-side-lying
• Seated
• Prone

As well as for the femoral belly:

• Supine
• Side-lying

Each position offers unique advantages for therapist access and client comfort. Supine position may be the most familiar, but ¾-side-lying could be the most effective, and prone position might offer the most comfort for the client. Why? Take this course and find out.

Developing confidence in psoas major palpation will elevate your ability to assess and treat dysfunction of one of the body’s most clinically significant muscles.
