From a sagital view the descending forces coming via the sacrum are posterior the ascending forces coming from the femoral head. In frontal plane view they are medial to the descending forces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/8bc3b1f5-5bc0-41f8-8836-6b70c7c72765/sacrotuberous.jpeg Treatments - Sacroiliac dysfunction and Lumbo-pelvic dysfunction The SIJ and its ligamentous apparatus absorbs and transfers those forces from lower to upper body and vice versa. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/39204d51-cb25-4a04-b889-ebf7b25ebb1e/trabecular+sij.jpeg Treatments - Sacroiliac dysfunction and Lumbo-pelvic dysfunction - The bony trabeculae are thin columns, the internal reinforcement of the bone that builds up in relation to the pressure and tension imposed on the bone. These internal pillars are continous and can be seen as a representation of line of force transmission inside the bones as well as bone to bone. Collagen fibre orientation inside joint capsules and ligaments often look in line with Trabecular alignment coming from the sacral vertebrae and continues in different lines towards the ischial tuberosity, pubic branch and the coxa-femoral joint from where it continues to the femoral head, neck and the shaft etc. The SIJ is a transfer of these forces and the line of tension represented by the bony trabeculae forms in different joint position in relation to the ilium, ischium and pubis. If joint alignment is disrupted, trabecular continuity will be disrupted too, which asks for remodelling in relation to the changed loading. We know the importance of trabecular alignment in the case of joint wear and tear and osteoarthritis. In order to have a basic understanding of SIJ mechanics we need to have a quick look at the anatomy surrounding the joint. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/dd9b7b0d-4b0c-40e1-8862-3c83dc16a265/sij+arms.jpeg Treatments - Sacroiliac dysfunction and Lumbo-pelvic dysfunction - The auricular surfaces The joint surfaces that articulates with one another are called the auricular surfaces. The short arm or lesser arm runs antero-inferiorly and its orientation is closer to the vertical plane. The long arm or greater arm of the SIJ is running antero-superiorly and its orientation lies closer to the horizontal plane. The two arms meet at the isthmus forming a shape resembling a letter "L". The end/tip of each arms are called the apexes, while the root of each arms called the bases. The isthmus is the most anterior part of the joint where the two arms meet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/c27e8645-ff80-4384-bd48-64b3598e9381/auricular+surfaces+sij.jpg Treatments - Sacroiliac dysfunction and Lumbo-pelvic dysfunction - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/29f1bcef-b7f9-4e3e-b37e-98afd1f545f6/CO+sacrum-craniosacral.jpg Treatments - Sacroiliac dysfunction and Lumbo-pelvic dysfunction - Make it stand out The horizontal (H) axes run in the frontal plane. H1 is at the level of the first sacral vertebra and it is Sutherland's cranio-sacral movement - (sacrum-occipital) H2 is the movement of counter-nutation and nutation as the superior and inferior pelvic outlet opens during delivery. H3 is the movement of the ilium in posteriorization, anteriorization, inflare and outflare relative to the sacrum and it is called iliosacral movement. Anteriorization and posteriorization are both movements of the ilium in the sagital plane. Inflare and outflare are similar movements of the ilium with an additional component of flaring - which results in a slight frontal plane deviation where the ASIS moves medially with outflare, and the PSIS moving medially with the inflare. The terminology of inflare and outflare may be taught slightly differently in other schools of thoughts so it's worth keeping it in mind. These are physiological movements that happen in conjunction with the sacrum's movement on its oblique axes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/29c97fb8-8a48-419a-ad9f-333b73b7b00b/oblique+axes.jpg Treatments - Sacroiliac dysfunction and Lumbo-pelvic dysfunction - The oblique axes These axes run from the apexes of the lesser arm to the controlateral apex of the greater arm. This is a sacroiliac movement or the movement of the sacrum relative to the ilium. The sacrum performs the movement of positive torsion (flexion+rotation) and negative torsion (extension+rotation). During gate the sacrum moves from positive to negative torsion and the ilia move between inflare and outflare. These are physiological or healthy movements of the pelvis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/972a2351-a8f0-469d-b33e-0e6f430d367d/pubic+symphasis.jpg Treatments - Sacroiliac dysfunction and Lumbo-pelvic dysfunction - The axes of the pubic symphysis While there is movement at the symphyses pubis, in reality these axes don't exist. They are lesions on planes of movement, in which there is a mixing of axes as a consequence of one of the above lesions (vertical etc.) resulting in torsion, compression or separation of the symphyses pubis. https://www.peterbodi.com/treatments/post-covid-myocarditis monthly 0.5 2026-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/23755a9c-75ce-4a17-bf54-7a53b99c8ea6/01f736_ed7a6720f9af440aba4fca8743ac8895%7Emv2.jpg Treatments - Post-Covid Myocarditis and Pericarditis When you breathe your respiratory muscles such as your diaphragm and intercostal muscles etc. contract which results in movement of your ribs, pulling on the pericardium, while there is an increased pressure in your thorax and abdomen with an expansion in the diameter of your ribcage and abdomen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/55b4cc2f-2e91-4aae-bbe3-927fab5e9041/01f736_e36e60de403141aeb8494eba7b2a00b8%7Emv2.jpg Treatments - Post-Covid Myocarditis and Pericarditis - This movement of expansion is authorised by numerous small joints/articulations and many layers of connective tissue with liquid in between acting as a lubricant just like in a well-oiled engine. This movement is necessary and also serves to pump the liquid which in exchange ensures normal mobility of the adjacent layers on one another. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/6d844ba9-97ff-4354-b41e-f04f1f801e15/01f736_28d1b6c8fb3441839ca57b20890ffcb3%7Emv2-3.jpg Treatments - Post-Covid Myocarditis and Pericarditis - This illustration shows the different layers of muscles and connective tissues between the exothoracic fascia (which is the layer of connective tissue external and superficial to the ribs and intercostal spaces) and the endothoracic fascia (which is the connective tissue between the inside of the chest wall and the parietal layer of the plura of the lungs). There are as many as 7+layers that need to slide against on another. A good example of lack of movement can often be seen with the elderly and frail that bigger movement of a stiff spine and ribcage will elicit a coughing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/329976a1-5147-4697-84a0-062b29da672e/01f736_96446cc062f54a688f1980ff9c21affe%7Emv2-3.jpeg Treatments - Post-Covid Myocarditis and Pericarditis - The pericardium is "suspended/attached to" the thoracic diaphragm, xiphoid and manubrium of the sternum, the cervical spine with links to the thyroid gland, oesophagus just to name a few. Inferiorly the pericardium is sitting on the dome of the thoracic diaphragm and is attached to it by the phreno-pericardic ligament. Anteriorly the xypho-pericardic ligament. superiorly the vertebro-pericardic ligament to C6-7/T1 the manubrio-pericardic ligament and various fascial bands connecting to the thyroid cartilage the oesophagus etc. So just taking these few fascial links it is safe to say that the way you breathe and the way your diaphragm contracts and relaxes, the mobility of your ribcage as a whole as well as individual rib movements and the posture of your neck all have a direct impact on how the heart functions. https://www.peterbodi.com/treatments/tmj-dysfunction monthly 0.5 2026-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/cd0e018e-b7b5-4efb-8d06-88997669ccc1/Gray311.png Treatments - Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Dysfunction - The mandibular fossa, condole the synovial cavity and the articular disc. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/4d02f71a-d88a-47dc-809a-ea8b407d4d12/tempImagepYsqkd.jpg Treatments - Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Dysfunction - Following an assessment of the joints, my treatment primarily focuses on restoring normal length-tension relationships of all mechanically important links and to normalise movement in the TMJ. This means that each of the above ligaments, joint capsules, fasciae and muscle will be looked at and treated individually. Why? Because they can be either the cause or the consequence (or both) of the problem. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. Other anatomy, that may affect the function of the TMJ, will be looked at and addressed such as the structures of the cervico-thoracic diaphragm and orofascial anatomy in addition to mechanical factors such as your head carriage, the posture of the cervical spine, your scapula placement, your centre of gravity and so on. Home care program that follows a manual therapy treatment includes awareness, proprioception and mobilisation exercises as well as stretching and strengthening exercises. The home exercises, in between treatment sessions, are a crucial part of an effective TMJ rehabilitation program. https://www.peterbodi.com/treatments/post-surgical-scar-tissue monthly 0.5 2026-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/51cc2610-9f12-4b76-8af3-83a109fd8c31/01f736_f3e0fd144a574c56bb596739b8478e32%7Emv2.jpg Treatments - Post surgical scar tissue - In connective tissue, it is created by fibroblast proliferation, a process that begins with a reaction to the clot during inflammation. An injury does not become a scar until the wound has completely healed; this can take time. To begin to "patch" the damage, a clot is created; this clot is the beginning process that results in a provisional matrix. In the process, the first layer is a provisional matrix and is not a scar. Over time, the wounded tissue over-expresses collagen inside the provisional matrix to create a collagen matrix. This collagen over-expression continues and crosslinks the fibre arrangement inside the collagen matrix, making the collagen dense. We should think of maintaining the irregularity in the organisation of connective tissue during this process by multidirectional forces applied to it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/a6fa005f-d9cb-4937-beff-abc946271e5c/01f736_9d8e9674de2247308a08dea9b2c0de68%7Emv2.jpg Treatments - Post surgical scar tissue - The goal of manual and exercise therapy is also to prevent the dense unidirectional organisation of collagen matrix and fibrosis, to prevent the adhesion of adjacent layers and encourage movement of tissue layers relative to one another. Moving the affected body parts the right way after surgery not only improves function, it helps prevent excess scar tissue from forming. When this movement isn't possible due to healing time, fascial normalisation with manual therapy can start to initiate the process and prepare the tissue in the right direction so when the joint is ready to be moved the surrounding connective tissue will readily authorise that movement. The earlier you get going, the better the outcome. https://www.peterbodi.com/treatments/viscera monthly 0.5 2026-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/1743023965865-ZJWQ7T4Q2SQJ56SP94PW/2025-01-18+12.29.35.jpeg Treatments - Visceral Manual Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/52ca7bdb-5cc9-4732-9bbf-def957acf3f4/623px-Winslow_EN.svg.png Treatments - Visceral Manual Therapy - Hiatus of Winslow and Bursa Omentalis Two important structures to of the visceral peritoneum to treat especially in relation to the digestive tracts. https://www.peterbodi.com/treatments/eldoa monthly 0.5 2026-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/a5691125-cdbe-40c7-9646-2b1be237c2a4/scoliosis-description-scaled.jpg Treatments - The ELDOA™ & Scoliosis, Back Pain, Disc Herniation & Spinal Problems - Make it stand out “Scoliosis is a condition in which the spine bends to the side abnormally; either to the right or left. The curvature can be moderate to severe. Any part of the spine can be bent in scoliosis; but the most common regions are the chest area, thoracic scoliosis, or the lower part of the back, lumbar scoliosis.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/d158ba48-16a3-42e0-a0f1-76a9880924c5/traction.jpeg Treatments - The ELDOA™ & Scoliosis, Back Pain, Disc Herniation & Spinal Problems - If our aim is to improve the scoliosis, we need to focus on addressing the rotation. We need to consider the alignment of the pelvis and how the sacrum sits between the two ilia. Often times, the patient needs a very precise structural correction of the rotation of the vertebrae. To maintain the correction and to further improve the alignment of the spine, spinal ELDOA™ needs to be practiced for the segments of where the beginning, the middle and the apex of each curve is. Designed by Guy Voyer himself, the ELDOA™ utilize myofascial tension to create a centre of “separating forces” around a primary lesion. As we can target the tension to isolate a specific segment the benefits of this exercises are both local and global. Locally, there is targeted stimulation of intrinsic muscle action in a "long" range which affects not only the muscle but the joint capsule and the surrounding ligaments, resulting in better proprioception and awareness of the segment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/77cf87a0-9f50-4ceb-baef-493a48222cf8/disc_stability.jpeg Treatments - The ELDOA™ & Scoliosis, Back Pain, Disc Herniation & Spinal Problems - This targeted isolation is achieved in a global posture where various myofascial chains are engaged and worked simultaneously resulting in normalisation of muscles tone within the chain and an improved balance and coordination between the various myofascial chains. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/ea4e91ec-db26-4d8f-913f-18fd41c0d387/discal_herniation.jpeg Treatments - The ELDOA™ & Scoliosis, Back Pain, Disc Herniation & Spinal Problems - Illustration of a nerve root compression This often results in the changed mechanics of the motion segment, with the disc impinging on the exiting nerve root, the reduced disc height changes facet joint mechanics etc. often resulting in pain and impaired function. https://www.peterbodi.com/treatments/what-is-eldoa monthly 0.5 2026-03-29 https://www.peterbodi.com/treatments/complex-vs-linear-approach-extracts-from-seminars-by-guy-voyer-do monthly 0.5 2026-03-29 https://www.peterbodi.com/home daily 1.0 2025-10-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/0b46af28-9c6b-4f05-97e1-45835cfa53d5/2025-01-18+12.14.56.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/e39493ad-a96a-4c26-997d-4fbd05d6ac1e/PEter-ELDOA.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/1742758863697-LS3KT1DBJJZC9PMS9YE1/Screenshot+2025-03-23+at+09.38.14.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/1742758957898-LCWMOE1N8B847B8KJ8G4/Screenshot+2025-03-23+at+09.38.46.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/1742758867263-UP6MNXAZ2J9H3TUY6UX7/Screenshot+2025-03-23+at+09.39.08.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/1742758899003-4QWAAV0YKXBTBOVE8FNG/Screenshot+2025-03-23+at+09.39.23.png Home https://www.peterbodi.com/therapy daily 0.75 2026-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/55ee3496-9fe4-4cdd-8ea7-04263fc960a8/Peter-SI.jpg Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/c71269e3-26e4-4f82-9f24-56296fb999ae/2025-01-18+12.18.49.jpg Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/c5527409-cbaa-48c0-8204-d3570b7a8045/Peter-TMJ2.jpg Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/e39493ad-a96a-4c26-997d-4fbd05d6ac1e/PEter-ELDOA.jpg Therapy https://www.peterbodi.com/education daily 0.75 2025-10-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/55f71d38-8541-4f11-b362-67ca257ee579/888230F3-A6D5-4DD8-A432-904D0C142418.jpg Education Five men standing shoulder to shoulder in a gym, with logos for England Rugby, Honda, and Canterbury on the wall behind them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/f9c8122d-9446-4b07-afa1-747aa0c0e1c3/IMG_5082+Large.jpeg Education Two men standing together in a room with a white brick wall, one wearing a black polo shirt and black pants, the other wearing a hockey jersey and shorts, both smiling at the camera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/241a78b4-542b-4d13-81ae-eb902c4f16de/IMG_4858+Large.jpeg Education Four men standing together inside a gym, three wearing Tampa Bay Lightning hockey shirts, with weights and exercise equipment in the background and TVs showing hockey and a woman eating at a table. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/679ff28444a3075e7e6db385/bb0a58c8-8875-4019-bb50-dcc698850252/IMG_3685.jpg Education Four men standing together in front of a wall that says 'England Rugby,' with gym equipment including kettlebells behind them.
