Hvala!

[@OsteopathicClinicalSkills]

Thank you!!

[@nopenotme697]

Great demonstration. What would be the symptoms to treat this area?

[@Osteopathy]

Thanks for shearing this video. I am wonder why superiolateral glide on ischial tuberosity might stretch the fascial of ischiorectal fossa?

[@OsteopathicClinicalSkills]

Since you are contacting the medial aspect of the ischial tuberosity, pressing superiorly adds a direct contact on the lateral attachments of the pelvic floor muscles, then the lateral pressure pulls the ischial tuberosity away from the midline, further engaging and stretching the pelvic floor muscles.

@@OsteopathicClinicalSkills I see and many thanks.

Thanks for the vid! Couldn't find any good walkthroughs on this technique, which is surprising since it's a main part of lymphatics tx. Great explanation as always :)

[@OsteopathicClinicalSkills]

Hey! Glad you found it helpful! More to come!

Is it more difficult to feel the bone when the patient has a higher percentage of muscle and/or fat in that area?

[@OsteopathicClinicalSkills]

It can be a little more challenging with more muscle or fat tissue overlying the area, but fortunately, landmarks like the ASIS, ischial tuberosity, etc are located more superficially or at natural body creases where there are thinner layers of soft tissue. In this video, I emphasize the hamstring tracking strategy for finding the ischial tuberosity. Practicing consistent strategies for each common landmark makes finding them easier and more consistent no matter the person’s body type/shape.
