Description: Patients frequently present with lower back, buttock, lateral hip, anterior hip, and/or thigh symptoms. Where is this coming from? How can I differentiate between lumbar and hip? How do I develop an effective and efficient examination and treatment plan? We can help you! This 2-day course will cover a research-based and clinically-reasoned approach to treating individuals with lumbar and hip disorders. We will present a clinical reasoning foundation which will help participants become more efficient and effective in their examination and treatment selection. We aim to provide participants a deeper understanding of the “why” and “when” behind various examination and treatment techniques versus just learning the skill. During lectures, we will discuss screening for referral, clinical pattern recognition, treatment-based subgrouping, implementation of clinical practice guidelines and more. Labs will cover safety screening, examination techniques, mobilization and manipulation of the lumbar spine and hip, and progressive exercise. Case-examples presented throughout the course will aide in understanding and clinical application of the concepts presented.
