Brookbush Institute

I have almost completed my CPT certification and am half-way through the Human Movement certification to inform my massage practice. The different modalities of reading, watching audiovisual materials, and attending live or recorded webinars have been important to my learning style and for review.

Brookbush Institute has the most detailed, specific and effective tools for online learning for movement and/or bodywork professionals. I love the combination of the videos as well as the text available online.

I recently completed the CPT course. It was demanding yet practical. I would highly recommend it for anyone wanting an education about human movement.

I have my personal trainer certificate through here and am almost finished my human movement specialist certification. Overall, the education that Brookbush has packaged together for clinicians and trainers is invaluable. I am a physio assistant so coming from more of a rehab background I appreciate that this education has been beneficial both as a trainer and in a rehab setting. I love that I have been able to do all learning at my own pace and able to work around my schedule. Thank you for setting up this platform! Highly recommend :)

I have been a massage therapist for 10 yrs and I feel like all the “pieces” I’ve learned throughout the yrs have been put into place and can see the full picture. I am also a member to tons of great content since I love to learn! I plan to get my CPT through them as well.

I have been following Brent Brookbush for nearly a decade- back when I was a personal Trainer and now as a Physical Therapist. BBI is an incredible resource for any movement nerds and corrective exercise specialists! The information is thorough with multiple real world applications. I am looking forward to an in-person Manual Therapist course the second they do one a little bit closer to Virginia ;)

I have taken both the Human Movement Specialist and Certified Personal Trainer certificate programs and have found the value in understanding the how and ways the body moves and functions and from evidence, non-biased, outcome, conceptual, theoretical, and practical approach to helping my clients/patients look better, feel better, and move better.

Over the last years I've returned time and again to Brookbush Institute for stellar coursework as I've worked toward a Human Movement Specialist certification. (I'm currently ACE CPT, and in training with Anatomy Trains for Structural Integration Manual Therapy.) Every Brookbush Institute module is fantastic and each one includes detailed informational videos, written descriptions of how to-do, and, more importantly, why to-do!

I am a 70 yr old chiropractor and no other healthcare provider was able to come up with an exercise protocol particular to my structural and balances and muscle deficits and keep me in the game. And as for continuing education on human skeletal movement, the website is phenomenal full of great exercises for particular mechanical dysfunction.

The H.M.S. is the most valuable certificate I have earned and was a fraction of the the cost of my others. Define the best bang for your buck!

Brookbush is the most efficient Personal Training Certification I have ever come across. All the lessons are well thought out and very straight to the point.

I am getting my Master's degree in Kinesiology, and I would like to say that I have benefited greatly from the rich, comprehensive, well-documented scientific content of Brookbush Institute that links theory to practical applications. Proudly I've got my CPT certificate, and I am on my way to get my HMS certificate.

Having courses count towards different certifications makes it so users can transition seamlessly from one certification to another. In my case, going from earning the BI CPT to earning the BI HMS was an easy decision and I am proud to have earned both certifications. I have also had the pleasure of going to a Live HMS workshop that was well taught by Instructor Boettcher and that was excellent to see how the methods and techniques are implemented.



I have been a member of BBI for years and every course I have taken has been incredibly informative. I learn more from these courses than I do at local CEU courses for my PTA license. I also earned my CPT and HMS certifications through the platform. It was so convenient and the content was top notch! Forever member.

We learn principles in academia, we learn cool new modalities via whatever specialty certification, but BBI really concentrates on the nuances of passive treatment and they do a fantastic job. The format in which BBI instructs soft tissue specialists (DPTs, Chiros, ATs) like myself feels like almost like an apprenticeship. You get a thoroughly detailed explanation of the “why’s”, and a visual comprehension of how to apply. Personally, I believe application is where the good and the great are distinguished.

Brookbush has been incredibly helpful since I was in massage school and now as I’m in my career! I run my own practice and it gives me the resources I need to not only improve what I already know, but also help me navigate better, more efficient ways of treatment.

Totally loving the convenience and affordability of this program with my crazy lifestyle! I feel like I am getting a quality education without a massive cost! My favorite part is the videos I can watch in the courses. I learn so much better that way. Once I really spent more time on the site, I figured out how to maneuver around a lot better! I enjoy the sense of humor, as well as the easy explanation, and short tests. And if I am really tired, I can have the computer read me the lessons. 😁

Challenging concepts are explained in very understandable terms without dumbing down the material, and I find this program to be superior in quality to other personal training programs.

Laslett's Cluster II: Sacroiliac Joint Pain Test-item Cluster

Additional Pain Provocation Tests (not included in test):

Appendix: Research Review on SIJ Movement Assessment

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction (a.k.a. SIJD, SI joint dysfunction, SI joint syndrome, SI joint pain) may result from movement impairment, acute injury, or trauma, and is often mistaken for lower back pain or develops concurrently with lower back pain. Due to controversy regarding the amount of motion that occurs at the SI joint, and the relative strength of the ligaments and connective tissue that support these joints, conservative treatment options are often dismissed. It is common that patients and clients will not receive treatment for symptoms until they are complaining of chronic pain; for example, nerve (e.g. "patient complains of pinched nerve"), ligament (e.g. pain with forward bending), or connective tissue (e.g. continuous dull ache) inflammation. Most often, clinical movement professionals (physical therapists, physical therapy assistants, chiropractors, occupational therapists, athletic trainers, etc.) are the safest and most effective option for pain relief (e.g. manual therapy, certain modalities, and corrective exercise).

Most palpation, motion, and position assessments for the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) have questionable reliability. However, research has demonstrated that 

 is reliable and accurate for diagnosing the sacroiliac joint as a source of pain (4, 5, 22, 23). It is worth noting that SIJ pain provocation tests are more specific than sensitive (4 - 21), indicating a positive result carries more weight than a negative result. In summary, a positive result using 

 is strongly indicative that pain is originating from SIJ dysfunction.

A review of SIJ movement assessment research is included in this course. The intent of the review is the suggestion of a possible cluster for identifying dysfunctional/altered motion. The research has demonstrated that the 

 is reliable when confined to a narrow set of findings (24), and one observational study by Grieve et al. (70) demonstrated good reliability and accuracy from a grouping of findings. Additional refinements to the Grieve et. al grouping can be made based on additional research and may imply a useful SIJ movement assessment cluster.

 recommends that all clinical professionals (physical therapists, physical therapy assistants, chiropractors, occupational therapists, athletic trainers, etc.) are aware of 

. However, in practice, pain provocation has little utility for improving clinical decision-making and refining intervention selection. In practice, the 

 recommends evidence-based modifications to the Grieve et al. cluster to determine the less and more mobile sides, and to treat the SIJ according to their relative stiffness (mobilize/manipulate the stiff side, glute activation on the more mobile side).

Introduction

For an introduction to Special Tests including definitions of specific terminology, what special tests measure, how we chose the tests in these lessons, and best use, check out:

Sacral Thrust, Compression, and Distraction

The patient lies in a prone position and is asked about current symptoms.

The examiner then palpates the midpoint of the sacrum by "falling off" the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) medially.

The pisiform portion of the hand/wrist is placed on the middle of the sacrum or sacral base as if performing a 

posterior to anterior sacroiliac joint mobilization

. Applying the force to the level of the 3rd sacral spinous process (middle of sacrum) will reduce the likelihood of pushing the lumbar spine into extension.

Vigorous and repeated thrusts (up to 6 thrusts) in a downward direction are performed in an attempt to reproduce the concordant sign.

Note: The Brookbush Institute recommends starting with a slow but forceful push to the end of passive accessory motion, prior to thrusting. If a slow build-up of pressure reproduces the concordant sign or symptoms, thrusts are likely unnecessary.

It the test reproduces the concordant sign the test is positive.

The patient assumes a side-lying position with painful side up, and is asked about current symptoms.

The examiner then cups the top side iliac crest with both hands to reduce help spread force over a larger surface area

A downward force is applied on the ilium. It is likely that the practitioner will need to lay their torso on top of their hands to apply sufficient pressure.

This position is held for 30 seconds. Due to the sensitivity issues with this test, it may be advisable to additionally test tolerance of several downward thrusts if sustained pressure was tolerated without provocation of symptoms.

If the test reproduces the concordant sign the test is positive.

Distraction Test (Anterior Sacroiliac Joint Stress Test):

The patient assumes a supine position and is asked about current symptoms.

The examiner palpates the medial side of both anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS).

The examiner crosses their arms, resulting in an "X" shape, and places each hand on the patient's opposing ASIS. The examiner should use as much of the softest part of the palm as possible to push on the ASIS, reducing point pressure discomfort. The examiner may have to adjust hand position several times.

The examiner then applies a downward (spreading the anterior sacroiliac joint) force for 30 seconds. Due to the sensitivity issues with this test, it may be advisable to additionally test tolerance of several downward thrusts if sustained pressure was tolerated without provocation of symptoms.

Note: This test should only be performed if the patient is free of hip pathology/pain

The examiner stands opposite the painful side of the patient.

The hip on the painful side is flexed to 90 degrees, and the examiner uses the hand closest to the patient's head to pull the leg and tip the patient's hips and pelvis closer to them.

The examiner then slides their other hand under the sacrum, so the palm is firmly cupping the majority of the sacrum.

The patient is then tilted back over the examiner's hands, so the examiner's hand is now creating a stable platform for the sacrum to sit on.

The examiner then uses the thigh of the painful side to apply a vigorous downward force in an attempt to shear the ilium.

If the test reproduces the concordant sign near the sacroiliac joint on the tested side, the test is positive.

The patient assumes the "Thomas Test Position" - A supine position at the end of a table with one leg clutched to the chest, and the other hanging.

The easiest method to get a patient in this position is to have the patient stand at the end of the table, cue them to sit their sacrum on the edge of the table, ask them to clutch the leg you wish to have at their chest in this sitting position, and then assist them as they roll back into supine with the leg still clutched.

The examiner then places a hand near the knee of the "up" leg, and on the thigh of the "down" leg with the intent of applying a downward force to both legs. The test intends to push the "up" leg further into flexion, and the "down" leg further into extension, resulting in nutation and counter-nutation forces on the SIJs.

Once the examiner is comfortable, and in a position to apply these forces, up to 6 thrusts are performed while asking the patient about their current symptoms.

If the test reproduces the concordant sign near the sacroiliac joint or pubis the test is positive.

Both sides/positions (right leg up, or left leg up) may result in positive test results for either SIJ.

Van der Wurff et al. Pain Provocation Test-item Cluster (23) (not included on test)

3 out of 5 tests are indicative of SIJ pain and dysfunction. Note: This cluster is not included on the exam associated with this course because the sensitivity of 85% and a specificity of 79% is lower than the 

Sacral Iliac Joint Exam

Stork Test (a.k.a. Gillet's Test or One-legged Stand Test)

The patient starts in a standing position with feet shoulder-width apart.

The clinician places one finger on the PSIS, and one finger on the sacrum close to it.

Various texts suggest different landmarks on the sacrum including the sacral base, S2 spinous process, and inferior lateral angle (ILA). It is likely more important to be consistent with your palpation.

The examiner then asks the patient to flex the hip on the side being palpated, knee to hip height, like a high march.

The examiner monitors the motion of the PSIS relative to the sacrum.

Ideally, the pelvis as a whole would not tilt anterior or lateral, and no rotation would occur. Normal pelvic motion during marching may include a small amount of posterior tilting on the side of hip flexion relative to a stationary sacrum.

A positive test for SIJ stiffness is elevation, no motion, or less motion than the opposite side.

Appendix: Research Review for the Development of a Movement Cluster

The focus should be placed on addressing stiffness and asymmetry and not sacral position and range of motion.

SIJ injection provides strong evidence that SIJ dysfunction contributes significantly to 15 – 30% of low back pain cases.

The SIJ are capable of approximately 1.6 - 6° of rotation, and 0.1 - 2.0 mm of translation.

It may be reasonable to conclude that SIJ motion is as difficult to palpate as lumbar facet motion; however, well within the limits of fingertip sensitivity.

 likely alters motion and results in dysfunction and pain; it is unlikely that dysfunction is the result of a change in 

Imaging may be specific but not sensitive, subjective examination lacks reliability, and palpation of sacral position lacks reliability and accuracy.

Clustering pain provocation exams increases reliability and accuracy, as demonstrated by the 

The Gillet Test is reliable when constrained to 2 or 3 possible outcomes (More stiff on right, More stiff on left, Even)

Grieve et al. demonstrated accuracy and reliability when the Gillet Test was combined with hip ROM asymmetry and palpation of the superior ligament of the pubic symphysis.

Manipulation results in improved SIJ symmetry, hip ROM symmetry, gait symmetry, pain and disability.
