Comprehensive Treatment of the Hip: From the Spine to the Foot

Often, evaluations of the hip complex collect overwhelming amounts of information, yet leave us without a clear treatment strategy. This course will provide you with a central theme to treat the hip and simplify the methodology to find hip dysfunction, assess it and treat it. You’ll learn and practice MET and mobilizations of areas that influence the hip, including the spine, pelvis, hip/knee and ankle/foot regions. We’ll also cover treatment through myofascial release of all muscles that directly and indirectly affect hip function. These techniques will help you “think local while acting global” to expose hidden drivers of hip pain and dysfunction. At the completion of this course, you’ll be able to treat most any hip diagnosis with confidence and comprehensiveness, as well as achieve immediate improved functional results with your patients.

 

As with all our manual therapy courses, this course is at least 75% hands-on lab, and will give you skills you can use immediately upon returning to the clinic!
