Osteopaths and Chiropractors know how to correct sacroiliac and iliosacral lesions. However, they recognise the unresolved issue of why the joints return to their previous, lesioned position.

This book delves into the underlying ‘Pelvic lesion’ that locks them in. A set of new manipulative techniques are introduced; together with the anatomy and physiology of the pelvic joints, how and why sacroiliac joints become locked-in, what a pelvic lesion is, how it is created and how to correct it.

This is an essential book for Osteopaths, Chiropractors, and medical professionals.

This is the third and most complete revision of the PPT system of manipulation originated and developed by John Bayliss. His work and theories are recognized around the world by Doctors, Osteopaths, Chiropractors and Physiotherapists at all levels. At the core of Osteopathy is the Osteopathic Lesion. John was able to establish exactly what an osteopathic lesion is in terms of joint facets locked against joint facets and the forces that create them and hold them in place. This book is not about the soft tissue tightening that was theorized by prominent Osteopaths in the last century. This book is about actual bony locking and contains detailed explanations and illustrations. With this knowledge John was able to develop PPT manipulation. PPT manipulation unwinds a bony lesion rather than tightening it and wrenching it apart (gapping). PPT's are painless and silent. Genuinely easy to apply. Leave little to no trauma behind. No awkward uncomfortable patient positions. Results are quick and long lasting. PPT's are entirely new.

John had over 30 years of experience as an Osteopath. In 2004, frustrated by the short comings of Osteopathy and manipulation at that time, with his background in engineering, he sought new solutions. To do this he started looking at all aspects of how the pelvic and spinal joints articulate individually and synchronously to form harmonious bony movements. He looked beyond traditional hand me down thinking and focused bit part research, with function and logic as his guide. Synergetic biomechanics and PPT manipulation are the result of his research.

This book is a professionally colour illustrated proven technical manual for the forward thinking practitioner who is looking to update their knowledge and learn modern genuine cutting edge manipulative techniques. This book is about advanced Osteopathy for future generations.
