Review: Detailed And Readable - A comprehensive book on a complex area of the body. What this is NOT, is a dense and impenetrable text book. The detail is good and presented in such a way as to stay engaging. One of the best things about this book is that it also goes into detail on related areas and not just the sacroilliac joint and pelvis. It really conveys the relavance of the main subject area to the whole body. The book covers anatomy of the pelvis and function of the sacroilliac joint, then goes on to motion and stability, showing which muscles and myofascial sling systems aid this and how. Then it covers related topics including gait, leg length, spinal mechanics, the hip joint, to name a few. It also goes into detail on how to treat the pelvis and sacroiliac joint. This covers assessing, strengthening relavant myofascial sling systems and hands-on treatment. There is a whole bundle of assessment and treatment techniques of the related areas in this book. I found the book both informative and conversational in its presentation. The way it is laid out makes it a valuable clinical text book. Each chapter goes into detail on its subject, meaning it need not just be seen as a book about what is on the cover. It is a solid book that will suit all manner of manual therapists.
Review: Excellent - I did the spinal manip course with John and at the time he had just finished this book. Content in this book is very thoroughly explained but does not lose any palatability with the detail. If you're looking for assessment and application beyond the typical physio school teaching of "if it hurts just rub it better for 5 sessions" with none specific mobility techniques - then this is the book for you. Assessment techniques pertain to the direction of dysfunction and are then cross referenced with treatment applications. Treatments discussed are mostly met as opposed to mobs or manips, but I know John may disagree but hvts have very limited application in sij patients who are typically over weight poorly conditioned females who won't particularly appreciated being hvt'd.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Probably the best book of its time
*by D***Y on 4 January 2019*

Having done the course with John .. i can honestly say that this book has helped me no end to keep my treatments real and effective, its clear and concise and truly teaches stuff that even the most accomplished therapist can find useful ... if youi have time do yourself a favour and buy Johns other books as they are equally as important ... Best Buy guys
