Clinical Management of the Hip Complex: Multidimensional Strategies for Mobility, Stability and Motor Control

The hip is a complex joint with components of both mobility and stability. When your patient experiences pain at the hip - is the origin truly the hip joint or is it part of a dysfunctional kinetic chain?

With this practical approach to management of the hip complex, you can stop guessing what the next treatment step is and discover the true origin of the issue. You’ll learn actionable screening and assessment strategies for the hip alongside a multidimensional treatment strategy to address those with a diagnosis and those without.

  • No more going through tests for the sake of it – get an in depth review of special tests for effective evaluation and relation to anatomy for meaningful conclusions 
  • Seamlessly integrate NEW and functional assessments
  • Quickly identify orthopedic, neurologic and soft tissue contributions to dysfunction
  • Better understand how the global picture of the human in front of you is so critical to lumbopelvic complex 
  • Explore a unique breakdown of kinetic chains that emphasizes the importance of various body regions and their properties for mobility or stability & optimal function

You’ll walk through live applications of how to address the most common dysfunctions of the hip with progressive and regressive strategies for treating pain, mobility, stability, and motor control.  Learn how to resolve hip pain with all of today’s best treatments including cupping, compression floss, kinesiology tape and corrective exercise strategies! 

Program Information

Objectives

  1. Evaluate current research on pathology and etiology of hip anatomy and injuries. 
  2. Determine normal and abnormal hip range of motion as it relates to producing athletic movement for clients or patients. 
  3. Utilize both local and global assessment methods for the hip, pelvis, core, and overall lower limb stability and mobility. 
  4. Choose and illustrate assessment concepts for the body and its entire kinetic chain. 
  5. Determine which modality or intervention strategy is best warranted based off of assessment findings. 
  6. Apply and demonstrate evidence-based treatment techniques including decompression/cupping therapy and compression band therapy. 
  7. Choose and illustrate proper use of kinesiology taping techniques for hip pain and positioning feedback for performance. 
  8. Recognize and implement warranted corrective exercise interventions for patients and clients with dysfunctional hip mobility.

A Multimodal Approach for Treating Complex Hip Injuries

Complex hip injuries such as Femoral Acetabular Impingement (FAI), hip labral tears, and sports hernias are more common than ever with athletes and active individuals.  In this session, we will explore these diagnoses and identify treatment options such as manual therapy, dry needling, and corrective exercise to reduce pain and improve function to get them back to the activities that they love efficiently and safely.   You’ll learn highly effective and efficient treatment strategies that can be applied to the post-surgical and non-surgical individual.

Program Information

Objectives

  1. Evaluate common, significant hip injuries that are being identified with athletes and active individuals.
  2. Determine mobility and stability issues that contribute to these hip diagnoses.
  3. Utilize manual therapy and modalities in a systematic manner to reduce pain and improve function in the hip region.
  4. Prescribe corrective exercises to improve dysfunctional motor patterns related to hip injuries.
