Comprehensive Treatment of the Hip: From the Spine to the Foot

Course Description

Often, evaluations of the hip complex collect overwhelming amounts of information, yet leave us without a clear treatment strategy. This course will provide you with a central theme to treat the hip and simplify the methodology to find hip dysfunction, assess it and treat it. You’ll learn and practice MET and mobilizations of areas that influence the hip, including the spine, pelvis, hip/knee and ankle/foot regions. We’ll also cover treatment through myofascial release of all muscles that directly and indirectly affect hip function. These techniques will help you “think local while acting global” to expose hidden drivers of hip pain and dysfunction. At the completion of this course, you’ll be able to treat most any hip diagnosis with confidence and comprehensiveness, as well as achieve immediate improved functional results with your patients.

 

As with all our manual therapy courses, this course is at least 75% hands-on lab, and will give you skills you can use immediately upon returning to the clinic!

Steven graduated with a B.S. in Health Science, Minor in Sports Medicine/Athletic Training at Northern Illinois University in 1992. While representing his school on a swimming scholarship he gained experience working with high school, college and professional athletes. Upon graduation, Steven transferred into and completed his M.S. in Physical Therapy from D’Youville College in Buffalo, NY. Graduating in 1996, he then worked as a travel therapist while attending higher education with emphasis on becoming a foot and ankle clinical specialist. He eventually settled into Tucson, AZ, where he continued his pursuit for higher education, ultimately graduating from the University of St. Augustine with a D.P.T. (manual therapy tract) in 2006. Steven became a Certified Integrative Manual Therapist through Great Lakes Seminars in 2009. During this process, he developed an appreciation and passion for treating cervical-thoracic dysfunctions. Steven has had a range of field and clinical experience, specializing in orthopedic injuries and post surgical conditions. He treats all regions of the body in his practice and emphasizes the principles of restoring and re-educating normal myofascial and musculoskeletal balance. He currently works at the Progressive Physical Therapy and Wellness Center Green Valley, AZ, of which he is part owner.

What Attendees Are Saying

Slide 1 Heading

Not only did I learn novel ways to examine and treat the hip, but I was also given a solid basis by which these techniques are effective from a neurophysiological perspective. I am more confident in how to educate my patients with regard to manual techniques and why/how it fits into their overall plan of care.

Slide 1 Heading

The MFR power sequence the instructor taught has helped me find dysfunctions I didn't find before, and helped to relieve patient's pain and improve their mobility. It's another example to me on how the educations GLS has provided me over the last few years has really helped me in the clinic.

I was a first timer for a GLS course. I have heard from several therapists that your courses are the best. And let me tell you, this course did not disappoint! I waited to write my review until after I got home from work Monday since the course touts being able to use techniques immediately upon returning to work. Again, I was NOT disappointed. I was very pleased with the outcomes I had today.

It was great having the creator of the manual teach the course. The repetition. The strong emphasis on laser focus on the problem and keeping treatment simple. Super practical. Not just focusing on the hip but how corresponding structures are also related.
