A completely up to date course on advanced concepts in lower quarter rehabilitation

FAI, Labral Injuries, Running Biomechanics and More!

  • New concepts in principles of management of lower quarter dysfunction

  • What the heck is Neuroplasticity? Utilising plasticity of the brain to enhance rehabilitation.

  • Isometrics: Why the hype?… To Push or to Hold.

  • Predict risk for future injury of the upper quarter.

  • Challenging Transversus: Why bracing is often not helpful. If it was all about Transversus, why even bother giving us Rectus Abdominus?

  • Pushing the link between breathing, back pain, peripheral pain & poor performance.

  • Pelvic Girdle Pain – MythBusters – challenging beliefs & simplifying management

  • Palpation & Surface anatomy of the pelvic girdle…. if you want to release the deep hip external rotators (eg), you need to be able to find them!

  • FAI? Labral tear? OA hip? Tendinopathy? Let’s use Differential testing, combined with clinical reasoning to differentiate

  • Running principles such as stride length, step rate, torque & forward trunk lean made easy. Useful Apps to use to help you assess biomechanical running faults & retrain better running & gait strategies.
