About this Event
Do you find differential diagnosis with some hip and groin presentations difficult?
Want a clear understanding of how best to approach FAI Syndrome?
Are you frustrated with hip pain patients, who fail to progress, and keep
coming back with recurring problems?
Hybrid Course
This new Hybrid course will focus on assessment and management of the Adult Hip
Patient. All the course theory will be sent to you approx. 10 days before the course
date and you will be able to study this in your own time (Equivalent to day 1 of the
course).
On the course day, Benoy will focus on practical skills, assessment
techniques hands-on techniques and interactive discussion, to maximise the
F2F learning experience.
“Emily is a 32-year-old office worker and regular gym-goer. She had right anterior hip
pain 10 months ago which was diagnosed as hip flexor strain and it responded
favourably with previous physio. Her right hip pain has returned since she started
cycling to work and she has been referred to physio. Her recent pelvis X-ray has
shown acetabular cross-over sign suggestive of pincher FAI in both her hips.”
How do you clinically determine if the X-ray results are the true source of her symptoms and not an incidental finding?
What are her treatment options? What is the best rehab strategy?
When would you consider a surgical referral?
Like a lot of clinicians, you may see patients like Emily presenting with anterior hip and groin
pain in private practice, sports medicine clinics or a primary care setting.
The hip and groin area is often viewed as a “black box” because of the complex anatomy
and overlapping pain referral patterns. Whether it is the week-end warrior, yoga enthusiast
or the competing triathlete, accurate diagnosis and management of hip and groin pain can
be challenging. Conditions like hip impingement syndromes, labral tears, chondral lesions
and dysplasia are being increasingly identified as cause of hip and groin pain in the
physically active population between the ages of 18-45. Although, various treatment
methods are reported there is a lack of consensus on the role of conservative management.
CONTENT
This one-day workshop is designed for all therapists who work with physically active patients
with anterior hip and groin pain. The course aims to provide a clear, honest and
evidence-based look, combined with more than 25 years of clinical experience at what does
and does not work in the assessment and conservative management of the active hip
patient. A key goal would be for you to leave with things that both simplify the hip for you and
help differential diagnoses what is going on, both articular and extra-articular pathologies of
the hip.
This course is appropriate for qualified physiotherapists as well as other
health professionals dealing with hip and groin pain.
What will you gain by attending the course?
- Overview of the complex interaction of the groin and the hip joint including femoro-
acetabular impingement, labral lesions, extra-articular pathologies and tendinopathy.
- A detailed and a systematic physical examination will be covered using a novel and
evidence-based tool (The layering concept) for the assessment of the adult hip
patient and a solid understanding of differential diagnosis
- Current conservative management of hip pain including hip impingement syndromes
and clinical insights on managing complex presentation
- Practical application of rehab exercises including progression of hip stabilisation
exercises and dynamic mobility exercises for the hip
- Integration of the theory, current evidence and treatment tools with case studies
