Preserving the Active Hip course, October 4-5, 2025, Thunder Bay

One Date ONLY: October 4th – 5th 2025 

Location: St. Joseph’s Care Group – Hospital Site, 35 Algoma St N, Thunder Bay, ON

Cost: $800 (includes taxes)

Registration Information & Academic Inquiries: dlindsay@ucalgary.ca

General Course Information: www.hipphysio.ca 

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.
