A Vital Role

The vital role of the hip in healthy movement is often overlooked. Hip immobility is often mistaken for other problems. In this section of the lower extremity class, our focus is on assessment and treatment of the hip and the muscles that affect it.This class is essentially the first half of the Lower Extremity seminar.

We will look at such issues such as:

* Restrictions in hip flexibility
* Hamstring strains
* Quadricep pain
* Adductor strain
* ITB tightness

Just Imagine

Here are some real-life scenarios that therapists face every day. PNMT gives you the problem solving skills to make solid decisions with speed and accuracy.

• Your client presents with a pain in the groin, complaining that this slowly developed and must be an adductor strain. In three quick movements, you decide that the pain isn’t adductors, but possibly much more serious, sending her to the doctor. Her doctor calls and is amazed you caught this so quickly.

• Your client presents with pain down the leg in a classic sciatic pattern. With two quick tests, you recreate the pain with your pressure and discern that this is simply a referral pattern. Symptoms disappear and your client is very, very happy!

This seminar is 80% hands-on and filled with useful techniques you will use the very next day! If possible, you may wish to review the anatomy of the following before attending the seminar:

* Gluteus maximus
* Gluteus medius
* Gluteus minimus
* Sacrotuberous ligament
* Piriformis
* Obturator muscles
* Quadratus femoris
* Tensor Fascia Lata
* Iliotibial band
* Adductors
* Hamstrings
