Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
• Can one single pelvic muscle energy technique can correct all pelvic somatic dysfunctions (SD)?
Participants will
* be positioned by the physician into the area of treatment into a position of resistance, which is the restrictive barrier.
* be instructed to use the targeted muscles for 3-5 seconds in the direction of ease while the physician provides a counterforce.
* be instructed to stop contracting their muscles and evaluate the area for decreased tension, then repositions the patient into their new restrictive barrier.
* These steps are repeated three to five times and then the dysfunction is reevaluated.
Subjects diagnosed with pelvic SD will be divided into two groups. One group will be treated with traditional one and be compared with the pelvic muscle energy group.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The investigators intend to assess if application of abduction/adduction SD combination MET may resolve any one-sided diagnosed pelvic SD.
MET involves a patient actively using their muscles on request from a precisely controlled position, in a specific direction, against a distinctly executed counter force. During MET, the physician positions the area of treatment into a position of resistance, which is the restrictive barrier. The physician then instructs the patient to use the targeted muscles for 3-5 seconds in the direction of ease while the physician provides a counterforce. The physician then tells the patient to stop contracting their muscles and evaluate the area for decreased tension, then repositions the patient into their new restrictive barrier. These steps are repeated three to five times and then the dysfunction is reevaluated.
Subjects diagnosed with pelvic SD will be divided into two groups. The control group will be treated with traditional one-sided MET, the second group will be treated with combination MET. Results of post-treatment exams will be collected and statistically analyzed.

Pelvic Muscle Energy - One sided
Receives pubic abduction/adduction somatic dysfunction combinations one sided
Osteopathic Treatment Technique- Muscle Energy Treatment
Muscle Energy Treatment involves a patient actively using their muscles on request from a precisely controlled position, in a specific direction, against a distinctly executed counter force. During Muscle Energy Treatment, the physician positions the area of treatment into a position of resistance, which is the restrictive barrier. The physician then instructs the patient to use the targeted muscles for 3-5 seconds in the direction of ease while the physician provides a counterforce. The physician then tells the patient to stop contracting their muscles and evaluate the area for decreased tension, then repositions the patient into their new restrictive barrier. These steps are repeated three to five times and then the dysfunction is reevaluated.
