Description

Hip pathology is an often under-appreciated and misunderstood problem for clinicians and athletes alike. As intra-articular and extra-articular hip pain has become more prominent, surgical procedures have increased exponentially, but examination and conservative management have unfortunately lagged behind. This two-day course will delve into evidence-based evaluation, conservative management, and return to sport of athletes presenting with hip pain. Through lecture and lab sessions, you will learn how to evaluate and treat athletes presenting with intra-articular (femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, acetabular labral pathology, and ligamentum teres pathology) and extra-articular pathology (sacroiliac joint, extra-articular impingement, athletic pubalgia, piriformis syndrome, proximal hamstring pathology, and greater trochanteric pain syndrome). By simplifying the evaluation and management of these conditions, at the conclusion of this course, clinician will be more confident in determining underlying pathology, appropriate management, need for surgical consult, and safe return to sport. Presenter: John Snyder, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS Objectives: Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: Understand the complexity of pain and its impact on hip pathology Understand the impact of femoroacetabular biomechanics on hip and concomitant LE pathology and injury risk Be able to accurately assess for red flags (avascular necrosis, femoral stress fracture, and inguinal hernia) and referral from proximal regions Be able to accurately and efficiently evaluate extra-articular and intra-articular hip pathology Be able to screen for and determine the need for surgical intervention Understand pathology dependent and region dependent manual therapy and exercise progression for hip pathology Progression of LE exercise and end-stage rehabilitation principles Be able to determine psychosocial, functional testing, and pathology specific factors to determine safe and efficient return to sport For more information, see the course website here: https://johnsnyderdpt.com/courses/the-athletes-hip/ I am a Physical Therapist, a Board Certified Orthopaedic Specialist, a Strength & Conditioning Specialist, an Educator, and a Research Junkie. My goal is to provide courses for orthopedic and sports medicine clinicians to keep up to date with the current literature and allow them to easily translate this information to their practice. Being an expert clinician depends on your ability to constantly assess your practice patterns and understand inefficiencies or inaccuracies in your reasoning. My courses will help to give you the tools necessary to assess these aspects of your practice and will frequently change as I take on the same task. As a clinician, I specialize in the treatment of athletic hip injuries and, more specifically, the evaluation and treatment of ice hockey athletes. As I have gained experience and researched these areas of practice, I have developed continuing education courses dedicated to these topics.
