John Gibbons – The Vital Hip Complex

John Gibbons – The Vital Hip ComplexThe Vital Hip Complex online course is a must for any therapist or student in the field of sports therapy, osteopathy, physiotherapy, chiropractic, yoga, pilates and personal training.You will learnIn The Vital Hip Complex course, osteopath, author and respected bodywork specialist John Gibbons looks at one of the most neglected areas of the body: the hip joint. During the online course he will take you on a fascinating journey of enlightenment, teaching you to recognise pain and dysfunctional patterns that can arise from dysfunctions found within and around the hip complex & the pelvic girdle.John will teach you functional anatomy and the biomechanics of the kinetic chain associated to the hip-pelvic-lumbar complex and discuss dysfunctional patterns that can develop within these vital areas and how they affect distant sites of the body. Once that has been understood, he takes you on a fascinating journey to functionally assess the joints, soft tissues, ligaments as well as specific muscle length tests that can alter the biomechanics to the whole of the hip complex.How does the hip joint actually cause pain to the lower back & knee?Does the ligamentum teres play a role within the hip joint?What is a condition known as Legg-Calve-Perthes disease?All these questions plus more are answered during this courseKey areas covered:Functional anatomy of the hip complex & pelvic girdleHip pathologies & syndromesHow the hip joint relates to the lower back, SIJ & knee complexFunction & testing of the musculature of the hip complexMuscle length tests: psoas, rectus femoris, adductors & tflTreatment of the hypertonic muscles using specific modalities of METDemonstration of Muscle firing patterns for Gmax and Gmed musclesGmax & Gmed and their relationship to the hip-Knee ComplexKinesiology taping techniquesSpecific hip rehabilitation exercisesYou’ll also learn how to identify specific soft tissue dysfunction and weakness within the musculo-skeletal system, and to harness powerful Muscle Energy Techniques (METs) and specific exercises to restore function and stability of the hip complex to your athletes and patients.On completion of the course you will have the knowledge and practical experience necessary to identify, assess and treat specific pathologies and conditions found within the vital hip complex framework and perform a variety of techniques that will help promote normality.The principles described can be incorporated very quickly and effectively into a treatment plan to assist in the rehabilitation of anyone recovering from injury.What You’ll LearnTheoryKey areas covered in this course:Functional Anatomy of the hip ComplexFunctional Anatomy of the pelvic girdleMuscles & Tendons associated to the hip complexNerves of the hip complexSoft Tissue InjuriesBursa Injuries & assessmentPathologies & Conditions of the hip complexGluteal Muscles and their link to pelvic & knee dysfunctionRange of Motion assessment of the hip jointPassive testing of the hip complexResisted testing of the musculature of the hipScreening tests for the Sacroiliac jointAnterior knee pain & ITB associated to hip dysfunctionMeniscal Injuries & MCL sprains caused by weak hip musclesMuscle Energy techniques and their relationship to the hip complexKinesiology Taping techniquesHip Stabilisation ExercisesWhat You’ll LearnPracticalKey areas covered in this course:How to locate bony landmarks,  ligaments, muscles and tendons of the hip & pelvic complexLocate the bursa associated to the hip complexHow to perform the Hip extension & Hip abduction firing pattern sequenceHow pathology of the hip joint relates to pain to the pelvis & knee complexMuscle length tests: Iliopsoas,  Rectus Femoris, Hamstrings, Adductors & TFLTreatment of hypertonic muscles using specific modalities of METDemonstration of the range of motion (ROM) for the hip – active, passive & resisted testsResisted testing of the quadriceps. adductors & hamstringsHow to screen the sacroiliac joint to confirm or deny pathologyHow to apply Kinesiology to the hip and pelvic girdleSpecific open & closed chain exercisesThere are no reviews yet.Add a Review Cancel replyYou must be to post a review.
