Evaluation and Treatment of Hip and Pelvis Dysfunction

Expert clinicians understand that freedom of movement is the key to pain free and maximal function. The hip and pelvis act as a critical crossroads in transferring power from the lower to the upper extremities. Effective total body function requires ease of movement through this important core area. Therapists must be able to efficiently assess and treatindividuals in various phases of hip and pelvic dysfunction in order to improve functional outcomes.

This workshop engages multi-disciplinary practitioners with proven manual therapy, neuromuscular and myofascial techniques and justifies their use in the treatment of hip and pelvic dysfunction. This workshop integrates all aspects of treatment to provide a start to finish approach for patient/clients in all phases of rehab with special focus ontargeted application of neuromuscular control exercisesensures whole body functional gains. Progressing from an efficient evaluation method, participants will learn a wide variety of myofascial mobilization, neuro re-education, and strength training techniques providing a complete, start to finish approach for patients in all phases of rehabilitation.
