The Essential Hip

• Are you having difficulty with your hip pain patients?
• Would you like to know the exact tests, clinical reasoning pathways, physio treatment options and exercise rehabilitation for labral tears, FAI and gluteal tendinopathy?
• Would you like to know why clams could be the worst exercise for your hip pain patient?
• Would you like to know how the foot, the pelvis, the pelvic floor and even the spine can add biomechanical load to the hip joint and limit your patients progress- AND what to do about it?
• Would you like to know more about hip arthroscopy and surgical intervention for FAI and labral pathology, as well as a guideline for post-operative rehabilitation?

A clear, practical pathway for your hip pain patients

Nichole’s workshop ‘The Essential Hip” provides all you need to get to work on Monday with a clear practical pathway for helping your hip pain patients.

This insightful and concise one day workshop provides you with practical assessment tools, management ideas for FAI, acetabular labral tears and gluteal tendinopathy.

Nichole outlines functional and structural impairments that may contribute to hip pain as well as explaining the surgical procedure and post-operative rehabilitation guidelines. Nichole also explores hip biomechanics and ‘outside the box’ issues that can limit your patients progress including the pelvis, the pelvic floor, lower limb biomechanics and even further up the chain into the spine, and then how to modify and tailor your treatment around these findings.

This course is practical, with time for hands on assessment practice and tailored exercise rehabilitation practice.

Please note - this course is a face to face course, not online.
