Dynamic Movement Training
Hip & Thigh
Course Description
The hips are the true linchpins of the body! They provide the foundation for both the spinal system and the knees & feet. Hip muscle imbalances or inefficiencies can have profound negative effects. Therefore, having a clear understanding of how the hips function and influence the rest of the system is crucial. In this fun and thought provoking course you'll observe, analyze and actively participate in movement-based exercises while learning new treatment strategies designed for immediate use at the clinic. This course was created to give you a birds’ eye view of how to use dynamic movement training to treat the myriad of conditions seen in this area.
Traumatic Hip & Thigh Issues:
- Femoral or acetabular fractures
- Traumatic labral tears
- Post-surgical (total hip, FAI or labral surgery)
- Groin strains & hamstring tears/strains
Repetitive Stress or Degenerative Injuries:
- Trochanteric pain syndrome & osteoarthritis
- Femuro-acetabular impingement & labral issues
- Snapping hip & gluteus medius tendinosis
- Hip flexor tendon or bursae issues
- Hamstring insertion pain or bursitis and piriformis syndrome
This approach goes beyond stretching and strengthening muscles. Use the Dynamic Integrated Movement concepts in this course to improve patient compliance, outcomes and extrapolation to daily activities. Connecting the dots between exercise and ADLs is imperative for long lasting results!
This multi-media lab course features 8 hrs of video recorded labs, interspersed within the written material and separated by chapters. All videos are linked and easily accessible.
GORDON BROWNE, PT
Physical Therapist, Author & Instructor
I started my physical therapy career in the early 1980’s. Yes, I've been around awhile! Growing up as a movement junkie, I enjoyed games, sports and martial arts. I went to PT school hoping to learn about movement. I learned lots of great stuff in my rehab training, but learning about how the body moves or how to get a body to move better was not one of them. For this, I had to venture outside traditional rehab sources. I have studied the Feldenkrais Method, T’ai Chi, Yoga and Qi Gong over the last 30 years, and have incorporated elements of these movement systems into my PT practice. Learning and utilizing these systems opened my eyes to the unintentional mistakes and erroneous assumptions seen in much of both rehab related and fitness related exercise. I knew I wasn't alone in my search so I started teaching continuing education courses to rehab professionals in 1999 hoping to share this knowledge with my colleagues. I've written 2 books: A Manual Therapists' Guide to Movement (book & audio) and Outsmarting Low Back Pain (booklet & video).
