A clear explanation of everything you’ve wanted to know about the Hip!
The hip joint is the critical link between the trunk and the ambulating lower limbs. Its articular configuration allows almost unlimited directions of movement and it has more muscles attaching around it than any other single joint in the body. This very practical seminar takes a VERY MODERN look at the biomechanics and muscle physiology of this amazing joint that will change forever your understanding of how the hip behaves in a manner that makes PERFECT sense.
This in-person two-day course explains in great detail the relationship between OA, Labral tears and F.A.I., and how muscle imbalance plays a critical role in all of these conditions. Afternoon “hands-on” workshops showcase how to objectively test for muscle imbalance in the clinical assessment without using any special equipment. Participants will also be taught how to recognize key gait analysis compensations that create or are the result of muscle imbalances and how to address these compensations / imbalances using scientifically supported rehabilitation strategies developed over a 20+ year period at the University of Calgary Sport Medicine Centre. Furthermore, the indications, benefits and potential pitfalls of arthroscopic surgery will be discussed. Complimentary myofascial techniques will also be shown. The course manual is very comprehensive, fully referenced yet easy to read. For additional course information including academic program and seminar schedule: www.hipphysio.ca
