SUMMARY:Gluteal Tendinopathy | Managing isolated and co-morbid presentations | APA Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Gluteal tendinopathy is a prevalent and impactful condition\, particularly in post-menopausal women. High-quality RCT evidence has established that a specific load management education and exercise approach is highly effective and superior to corticosteroid injection or wait-and-see in both the short and long term\, for those with isolated gluteal tendinopathy. However\, in clinical practice these patients often present with more than one condition – most commonly exhibiting signs and symptoms of co-morbid lumbar or hip joint related pain. In this presentation\, we’ll explore the evidence and approach to management of isolated gluteal tendinopathy and then how we might troubleshoot poor response and co-morbid presentations.

SUMMARY:Lateral Hip Pain | Improving diagnostic accuracy and outcomes with an evidence-based approach | Healthia Conference Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Recent survey studies of physiotherapists in the UK\, Ireland\, New Zealand and Australia report that despite a growing body of high-quality evidence around assessment and management of gluteal tendinopathy\, there is a lack of adequate translation of important information into clinical practice. There appears to be overreliance on 2-3 physical tests for diagnosis and underutilisation of a number of tests with good diagnostic utility. In many cases\, selecting only 2-3 tests for gluteal tendinopathy/greater trochanteric pain syndrome may not be adequate for achieving a correct diagnosis. Almost 100% of physiotherapists reported using ‘load management and exercise’ to treat this condition\, and yet the details of treatments provided suggests that some key features of highly successful programs are missing and unhelpful interventions are still commonly included. \nThis workshop will focus on providing the detail behind evidence-based diagnostic testing and load management and exercise strategies for gluteal tendinopathy. Participants will have the opportunity to master tests and exercises under supervision\, to ensure optimal confidence and ease of transferring these skills into clinical practice. The workshop is suitable for clinicians who want to fast-track patient outcomes by avoiding misdiagnosis and refining management programs.

SUMMARY:Lateral Hip & Buttock Pain | Live Online Workshop 2022
DESCRIPTION:Do you have a strategy for working through differential diagnoses and management planning for lateral hip or buttock pain?\n\n\n\n\n\nThis Online Workshop provides solutions for both common and complex presentations of lateral hip and buttock pain.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Online Workshop includes:\n• 6 hours of evidence-based\, clinically relevant lessons with printable notes\n• Access content from 13th June 2022\n• 6 x weekly emails to guide your progress\n• Culminating in 2 x 3-hour live zoom sessions for practical application\n• Live zoom sessions will be recorded for viewing in your own time\n  \nWhat’s more\,\n• 3 months of unlimited access to online learning content\n• Rewind and revise as many times as you like\n• Learn anywhere\, at your own pace\, in your own time\n• Self-assessment quiz to evaluate your progress\n\n\n\n\n  \nSynopsis\nLateral hip and particularly buttock pain can often present a diagnostic dilemma. The lumbar spine and sacroiliac joints may refer into these regions; intra-articular hip pathologies may be accompanied by lateral hip &/or buttock pain; local soft tissues & neural structures may be primary sources of nociception. The first step is determining the most likely contributors to the patient’s pain presentation. Developing an optimal management program with positive effects past the short term\, will also require an evaluation of physical & psychological drivers. Intrinsic & extrinsic factors should be considered within the overall context of workload. While non-modifiable factors (e.g. bony morphology) are by nature unable to be modified\, awareness of these factors can be integral to providing advice and interventions (active or passive) that ‘do no harm’ and development of strategies that allow maximal function with minimisation of adverse effects. \nOnline Theory\nThe substantial theoretical component of this course is presented in an online learning format for your flexibility and optimal learning experience. To keep everyone on track to have completed this content prior to the live workshop\, you will receive an email series to guide you through this content. This will involve a time commitment of approximately 1 hour per week. Access to the online content will begin on June 13th 2022\, from which time you will receive 6 weekly emails to guide your progress. You will also be able to go ahead or review any of the lessons over the 3 month period from June 13th. \n• 6 hours of online lectures with printable notes.\n• Learn anywhere\, at your own pace\, in your own time.\n• Benefit from a guided reminder series of emails to ensure you complete the content\n• Rewind and revise as many times as you like.\n• Online forum for discussion.\n• Self-assessment quiz.\n• 3 months of unlimited access to video content \nThe online component aims to: \n• Clarify definitions and diagnoses of lateral hip and buttock pain\n• Explore factors which may influence loads across the lateral hip & buttock and predispose to intra or extra-articular impingement\, such as:\na. morphological variants (e.g. bony structure\, soft tissue – neural relationships)\nb. adverse soft tissue loading associated with kinematics and neuromotor function (focus on hip abductors and short external rotators).\n• Provide an overview of key load management and therapeutic exercise strategies for lateral hip and buttock pain\, particular to the patient presentation and associated difficulties with mechanical load transfer.\n• Provide an update on scientific evidence for underlying diagnostic and management approaches \nLive Online Workshop\nThe live online workshop will be provided as 2 x 3 hour live zoom sessions. The shorter sessions allow for greater flexibility and avoid participant fatigue with prolonged online course attendance. Due to time-zone differences\, the workshops will be repeated at either end of the day on both Saturday and Sunday. \nThere will be 2 sessions each day\, repeating the same content\, so you will have an opportunity to choose one session on each day that best suits you: \nOption 1:\nAustralian Eastern Time\, AET at 9:00 am – 12:00pm AEST \nNew Zealand Standard Time\, NZST at 11:00 am – 2:00pm NZST\nBritish Summer Time\, BST at 12:00 – 3:00am BST\nUniversal Time Coordinated UTC at 23:00 – 2.00am UTC \nOption 2:\nAustralian Eastern Time\, AET at 5:00 – 8:00pm AEST \nNew Zealand Standard Time\, NZST at 7:00 -10:00 pm NZST\nBritish Summer Time\, BST at 8:00-11:00am BST\nUniversal Time Coordinated UTC at 7:00 – 10:00am UTC \nTo convert these dates & times to your local time\, simply convert from Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) using a time converter like this one: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html \nThe online workshop will guide participants through diagnostic tests and management strategies for lateral hip and buttock pain. There is now high-quality evidence for assessment and management of gluteal tendinopathy from the ‘LEAP’ lateral hip pain randomised clinical trial\, of which Alison was a key investigator. Participants will receive first-hand instruction on techniques\, advice regarding how best to apply this approach in clinical practice and valuable troubleshooting for slow or non-responders. \nThe workshop with then delve into the other lesser-known problems associated with buttock pain that may present diagnostic and management challenges – posterior joint instability\, bony impingements\, peripheral nerve entrapments and musculotendinous overload. Understanding the impact of bony morphology\, soft tissue interfaces and postural and movement patterns is critical to optimal management of these conditions. \nDay 1 – 23rd July: Assessment & Management of Joint Related Pain\, Bony Impingements & Nerve Related Pain\nOption 1:\nAustralian Eastern Time\, AET Sat\, 23 July 2022 at 9:00 am – 12:00pm AEST\nNew Zealand Standard Time\, NZST Sat\, 23 July 2022 at 11:00 am – 2:00pm NZST\nBritish Summer Time\, BST Sat\, 23 July 2022 at 12:00 (midnight Friday night) – 3:00am BST\nCorresponding UTC Fri\, 22 July 2022 at 23:00 – 2:00am UTC \nOption 2:\nAustralian Eastern Time\, AET Sat\, 23 July 2022 at 5:00 – 8:00pm AEST\nNew Zealand Standard Time\, NZST Sat\, 23 July 2022 at 7:00 -10:00 pm NZST\nBritish Summer Time\, BST Sat\, 23 July 2022 at 8:00-11am BST\nCorresponding UTC Sat\, 23 July 2022 at 07:00 – 10:00am UTC \nIncludes:\n• Recognising different conditions through patient presentation\, interview and physical tests.\n• Demonstration of formal diagnostic tests for posterior hip instability\, ischiofemoral & other bony impingements.\n• Demonstration of formal diagnostic tests for nerve impingements with focus on sciatic nerve impingements (deep gluteal syndrome/piriformis syndrome).\n• Telehealth assessment strategies for joint instability\, bony impingements and nerve assessment – which we will all do together.\n• Load management & exercise therapy for posterior hip instability versus ischiofemoral impingement.\n• Special focus on deep external rotator exercises for these conditions – I will let you know beforehand what very simple equipment you need to have on hand.\n• Load management & exercise therapy for sciatic nerve impingement and how this will vary depending on drivers and impairments.\n• Time for questions \nDay 2 – 24th July: Assessment & Management of Soft Tissue Related Pain\nOption 1:\nAustralian Eastern Time\, AET Sun\, 24 July 2022 at 9:00 am – 12:00pm AEST\nNew Zealand Standard Time\, NZST Sun\, 24 July 2022 at 11:00 am – 2:00pm NZST\nBritish Summer Time\, BST Sun\, 24 July 2022 at 12:00 – 3:00am BST\nCorresponding UTC Sat\, 23 July 2022 at 23:00 – 2.00am \nOption 2:\nAustralian Eastern Time\, AET Sun\, 24 July 2022 at 5:00 – 8:00pm AEST\nNew Zealand Standard Time\, NZST Sun\, 24 July 2022 at 7:00 -10:00 pm NZST\nBritish Summer Time\, BST Sun\, 24 July 2022 at 8:00-11am BST\nCorresponding UTC Sun\, 24 July 2022 at 07:00 \nIncludes:\n• Diagnostic assessment of proximal hamstring tendinopathy – combination of demonstration & try on yourself telehealth assessments.\n• Load management and exercise therapy for proximal hamstring tendinopathy.\n• Diagnostic assessment of gluteal tendinopathy – combination of demonstration & try on yourself telehealth assessments.\n• Load management and exercise therapy for gluteal tendinopathy.\n• Practice all key weightbearing exercises – I will let you know beforehand what very simple equipment you need to have on hand.\n• Step-by-step troubleshooting for failure to progress\, and advice on how to alter programs for more complex presentations e.g. patients presenting with additional hip joint conditions and/or lower back pain.\n• Addressing expectations – your patient’s expectations and your own.\n• Time for questions \nThese sessions will be recorded and you will be provided with access to these for a further 6 weeks after the live session. Even if you are unable to attend the live event\, you will be provided with access to these videos for review of the content. \nIf you have any questions about this event\, just contact me here. \nPlease note\, no refunds will be available after 13th June\, 2022\, and only partial refund will be available if online learning has been accessed prior to cancellation. \nIn the registration process\, please do not opt out of emails – this will prevent you receiving your guided email series.

SUMMARY:Anterior Hip & Groin Pain Workshop | Brisbane July 16th 2022
DESCRIPTION:Contemporary diagnostic & management strategies for Anterior Hip & Groin Pain\nSynopsis\nDo you find yourself using the same management approaches for patients with hip pain\, regardless of their presentation? \nDo you have a clear understanding of how morphology\, loading patterns and muscle dysfunction may be driving anterior hip and groin pain? \nWould you like to learn how to address these issues to optimise and FAST-TRACK YOUR OUTCOMES? \nAn exploration of the available anterior hip and groin pain literature reveals a minefield of inconsistent diagnostic labels and a high volume of imaging and surgical papers describing a myriad of pathologies which may or may not be associated with a patient’s presenting signs and symptoms. In recent years there have been some positive advances in defining clinical entities and diagnostic processes. Yet there is a persistent lack of clarity and evidence around best management. This may be related to undue focus on remediating a particular structural pathology or physical impairment\, without adequate consideration of mechanisms or drivers of pain and load intolerance. Within the contemporary biopsychosocial model\, health professionals acknowledge that patients may present with varying combinations of psychological and physical overload. While the psychosocial components of management are of high importance\, these will not be addressed in detail within this forum\, but much education is widely available on this topic. The primary focus will be on understanding and addressing mechanisms of physical overload and impairments associated with anterior hip and groin pain. \nLearning Objectives\nThis course aims to: \n\nEnhance clinical reasoning\, and skills for assessment of nociceptive sources\, clinical entities and drivers associated with anterior hip & groin pain\nProvide a framework for development of optimally effective\, targeted interventions for each individual that considers\n\nMorphological variants & implications for load management advice\, exercise therapy and manual therapy\nAdverse joint or soft tissue loading associated with kinematics and neuromotor function\nIndividual goals and functional demands\n\n\n\n\nProvide opportunity to practice some useful manual therapy and nerve mobilisation techniques\n\nLearning Objectives: Upon completion of this course\, participants should be able to: \n\nPerform diagnostic tests for anterior hip and groin pain and use that information for differential diagnosis of the most likely source of nociception or a primary clinical entity\nPerform tests that aim to elicit important information regarding potential contributors or drivers of the presenting condition\, such as:\n\nbony morphology\njoint range-of-motion & stability\nneurodynamics\nposture & key movement patterns\n\n\n\n\nDetermine the most appropriate management approach for an individual’s presenting condition using:\n\n\nKey information from the patient interview & physical examination\nTreatment direction tests\nClinical reasoning\nLoad management strategies\nExercise therapy\nManual therapy and nerve mobilisations as appropriate\n\nOnline Theory\nThe substantial theoretical component of this course is presented in an online learning format for your flexibility and optimal learning experience. \n\n4-6 hours of PowerPoint lectures with printable notes.\nLearn anywhere\, at your own pace\, in your own time.\nRewind and revise as many times as you like.\nOnline forum for discussion.\nSelf-assessment quiz.\n3 months of unlimited access to video content\n\nThe online component aims to: \n\nClarify definitions of anterior hip and groin pain\nExplore factors which may influence intra-articular hip joint loads\n\nmorphological variants (eg FAI\, acetabular dysplasia\, femoral version\, capsulo-labral deficits)\nadverse joint loading associated with kinematics and neuromotor function\nthe adequacy of joint protection mechanisms\n\n\nExplore factors which may influence extra-articular loads in the anterior hip region\n\nmorphological variants (eg. AIIS/Subspine Impingement)\nadverse soft tissue loading associated with kinematics and neuromotor function (focus on hip flexors)\n\n\n\n  \n\nProvide an overview of key load management and therapeutic exercise strategies for anterior hip pain\, particular to the patient presentation and associated difficulties with mechanical load transfer.\nProvide an update on groin pain clinical entities and where the literature sits with regard to prevention and management.\n\nPractical Workshop\nThe one-day practical workshop will include: \n\nDiagnostic\, pain provocation tests for intra & extra-articular sources of nociception\nAssessment of bony morphology\, joint stability and neurodynamics\nAssessment of posture & key movement patterns for specific pain & load intolerance presentations\nExamples of treatment direction tests (passive & active) & clinical reasoning strategies to determine best approach for reducing pain & improving load tolerance for the patient’s specific presentation\nLoad management advice & key exercise strategies for specific presentations\n\n(Please Note – this course will not include detailed muscle assessment and retraining strategies. That information is provided in the Mastering Movement of the Hip & Pelvis course\, which can then be applied in this course to specific conditions and clinical presentations) \n\nManual therapy – some useful techniques for specific range gaining and improving painfree ROM\n\nManual will be supplied. \nIncludes light refreshment for morning and afternoon tea. \nBring your own lunch or there are plenty of nearby options to explore.

SUMMARY:Mastering Movement of the Hip & PelvisBrisbane July 15th 2022
DESCRIPTION:Master assessment and training of muscles and movement\nSynopsis\nDo you have a clear understanding of when\, why and how to assess and address muscle dysfunction around the hip and pelvis\, in order to optimise and expedite patient outcomes? \nDo you find yourself prescribing the same exercises for every hip & groin pain patient\, regardless of their presentation? \nDo your patients perform the same program for weeks or months without progressions or an understanding of what they are attempting to achieve and why?\n \nWould you like to Fast Track your hip and groin Rehab? \n\nMovement patterning and muscle function around the hip and pelvis are key considerations for any lumbopelvic or lower limb problem and may even impact on upper limb function. Assessment and retraining in this region require a specific and targeted approach that should consider the multifaceted requirements for optimal function and the limitations of an individual’s musculoskeletal system. With respect to current practices around muscle testing and exercise prescription\, often strength is the only consideration. While this is an important consideration\, normal results on strength testing may be returned from a muscle synergy within which significant dysfunction exists. If weakness is not the primary deficit\, generic strengthening may worsen rather than improve the situation by reinforcing poor recruitment strategies or imbalance in the contribution of muscles within a movement synergy e.g. TFL within the abductor synergy. In exercise literature\, often maximal EMG is the sole indicator used for exercise selection.

SUMMARY:Anterior Hip & Groin Pain  |  Live Online Workshop 2022
DESCRIPTION:Do you find yourself using the same management approaches for patients with hip pain\, regardless of their presentation?\nAre you lacking a clear understanding of how morphology\, loading patterns and muscle dysfunction drive anterior hip and groin pain?\nDo you want to learn how to address these issues to optimise and FAST-TRACK YOUR OUTCOMES?\n  \n\nThis course includes:\n• 5 hours of PowerPoint lessons with printable notes\n• Access content from 4th April 2021\n• 6 x weekly emails to guide your progress\n• Culminating in 2 x 3-hour live zoom sessions\n  \nWhat’s more\,\n• 3 months of unlimited access to online learning content\n• Rewind and revise as many times as you like\n• Learn anywhere\, at your own pace\, in your own time\n• Self-assessment quiz to evaluate your progress\n  \nSynopsis\nAn exploration of the available anterior hip and groin pain literature reveals a minefield of inconsistent diagnostic labels and a high volume of imaging and surgical papers describing a myriad of pathologies which may or may not be associated with a patient’s presenting signs and symptoms. In recent years there have been some positive advances in defining clinical entities and diagnostic processes. Yet there is a persistent lack of clarity and evidence around best management. This may be related to undue focus on remediating a particular structural pathology or physical impairment\, without adequate consideration of mechanisms or drivers of pain and load intolerance. Within the contemporary biopsychosocial model\, health professionals acknowledge that patients may present with varying combinations of psychological and physical overload. While the psychosocial components of management are of high importance\, these will not be addressed in detail within this forum\, but much education is widely available on this topic. The primary focus will be on understanding and addressing mechanisms of physical overload and impairments associated with anterior hip and groin pain. \nOnline Theory\nThe substantial theoretical component of this course is presented in an online learning format for your flexibility and optimal learning experience. To keep everyone on track to have completed this content prior to the live workshop\, you will receive an email series to guide you through this content. This will involve a time commitment of approximately 1 hour per week. Access to the online content will begin on April 19th 2021\, from which time you will receive 6 weekly emails to guide your progress. You will also be free to go ahead or review any of the lessons over the following 3 month period. \n• 5 hours of PowerPoint lectures with printable notes.\n• Learn anywhere\, at your own pace\, in your own time.\n• Benefit from a guided reminder series of emails to ensure you complete the content\n• Rewind and revise as many times as you like.\n• Self-assessment quiz.\n• 3 months of unlimited access to online learning content. \nThe online component aims to: \n•Clarify definitions of anterior hip and groin pain\n• Explore factors which may influence intra-articular hip joint loads\n1. morphological variants (eg FAI\, acetabular dysplasia\, femoral version\, capsulo-labral deficits)\n2. adverse joint loading associated with kinematics and neuromotor function\n3. the adequacy of joint protection mechanisms\n• Explore factors which may influence extra-articular loads in the anterior hip region\n1. morphological variants (eg. AIIS/Subspine Impingement)\n2. adverse soft tissue loading associated with kinematics and neuromotor function (focus on hip flexors)\n• Provide an overview of key load management and therapeutic exercise strategies for anterior hip pain\, particular to the patient presentation and associated difficulties with mechanical load transfer.\n• Provide an update on groin pain clinical entities and where the literature sits with regard to prevention and management. \nLive Online Workshop\nThe live online workshop will be provided as 2 x 3 hour live zoom sessions. The shorter sessions allow for greater flexibility and avoid participant fatigue with prolonged online course attendance. Due to time-zone differences\, the workshops will be repeated at either end of the day on both Saturday and Sunday. \nThere will be 2 sessions each day\, repeating the same content\, so you will have an opportunity to choose one session on each day that best suits you: \nOption 1:\nAustralian Eastern Time\, AET at 9:00 am – 12:00pm AEST \nNew Zealand Standard Time\, NZST at 11:00 am – 2:00pm NZST\nBritish Summer Time\, BST at 12:00 – 3:00am BST \nOption 2:\nAustralian Eastern Time\, AET at 5:00 – 8:00pm AEST \nNew Zealand Standard Time\, NZST at 7:00 -10:00 pm NZST\nBritish Summer Time\, BST at 8:00-11am BST \nTo convert these dates & times to your local time\, simply convert from Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) using a time converter like this one: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html \nDay 1 – 14th May: Assessment of Anterior Hip & Groin Pain\nOption 1:\nAustralian Eastern Time\, AET Sat\, 14 May 2022 at 9:00 am – 12:00pm AEST\nNew Zealand Standard Time\, NZST Sat\, 14 May 2022 at 11:00 am – 2:00pm NZST\nBritish Summer Time\, BST Sat\, 14 May 2022 at 12:00 – 3:00am BST\nCorresponding UTC Fri\, 13 May 2022 at 23:00 – 2.00am \nOption 2:\nAustralian Eastern Time\, AET Sat\, 14 May 2022 at 5:00 – 8:00pm AEST\nNew Zealand Standard Time\, NZST Sat\, 14 May 2022 at 7:00 -10:00 pm NZST\nBritish Summer Time\, BST Sat\, 14 May 2022 at 8:00-11am BST\nCorresponding UTC Sat\, 14 May 2022 at 07:00-10am \nIncludes:\n• Recognising different conditions through patient presentation\, interview and physical tests\n• Demonstration of formal diagnostic tests for anterior hip and groin pain\, and anterior hip instability\n• Telehealth assessments of the hip & groin\, which we will all do together\n• Interactive case studies to walk through differential diagnoses of a number of presentations\n• Time for questions\nDay 2 – 15th May: Management of Anterior Hip & Groin Pain\nOption 1:\nAustralian Eastern Time\, AET Sun\, 15 May 2022 at 9:00 am – 12:00pm AEST\nNew Zealand Standard Time\, NZST Sun\, 15 May 2022 at 11:00 am – 2:00pm NZST\nBritish Summer Time\, BST Sun\, 15 May 2022 at 12:00 – 3:00am BST\nCorresponding UTC Sat\, 14 May 2022 at 23:00 – 2.00am \nOption 2:\nAustralian Eastern Time\, AET Sun\, 15 May 2021 at 5:00 – 8:00pm AEST\nNew Zealand Standard Time\, NZST Sun\, 15 May 2022 at 7:00 -10:00 pm NZST\nBritish Summer Time\, BST Sun\, 15 May 2022 at 8:00-11am BST\nCorresponding UTC Sun\, 15 May 2022 at 07:00 – 10am \nIncludes:\n• Tips regarding manual therapy and when it is or is not appropriate\n• Demonstration of manual techniques and self-mobilisation\n• Recognising situations of anterior hip and groin overload\n• Load management strategies for anterior hip and groin pain\n• Exercise techniques and strategies for managing anterior hip and groin pain\, with focus on:\n– modifying exercise technique for specific pathological and morphological presentations\, to avoid aggravation and optimise outcomes\n– specific hip flexor and adductor exercise techniques\n– specific exercises for nerve related anterior hip and groin pain\n• Interactive case study discussions\n• Time for questions\n  \nThese sessions will be recorded and you will be provided with access to these for a further 6 weeks after the live session.

SUMMARY:Lateral Hip & Buttock PainContemporary diagnostic & management strategiesBrisbane June 20th 2021
DESCRIPTION:Lateral Hip & Buttock Pain\nContemporary diagnostic & management strategies \nSynopsis\nDo you have a list of possible diagnoses that jump to mind when someone presents with lateral hip or buttock pain?\nDo you consider posterior joint stability\, extra-articular impingements of the lesser or greater trochanter or peripheral nerve entrapments?\nWhat is your strategy for working through the differential diagnoses and which markers from your patient interview and physical examination determine your pathway towards each particular diagnosis?\nOnce you have determined the most likely diagnosis\, are you also able to identify and develop a plan to address the most potent drivers for each individual’s presentation?\nWould you like to Fast Track your lateral hip and buttock Rehab?\nLateral hip and particularly buttock pain can often present a diagnostic dilemma. The lumbar spine and sacroiliac joints may refer into these regions; intra-articular hip pathologies may be accompanied by lateral hip &/or buttock pain; local soft tissues & neural structures may be primary sources of nociception. The first step is determining the most likely contributors to the patient’s pain presentation. Developing an optimal management program with positive effects past the short term\, will also require an evaluation of physical & psychological drivers. Intrinsic & extrinsic factors should be considered within the overall context of workload. While non-modifiable factors (e.g. bony morphology) are by nature unable to be modified\, awareness of these factors can be integral to providing advice and interventions (active or passive) that ‘do no harm’ and development of strategies that allow maximal function with minimisation of adverse effects. \nLearning Objectives\nThis course aims to:\n• Enhance clinical reasoning\, and skills for assessment of nociceptive sources\, clinical entities and drivers associated with lateral hip & buttock pain\n• Provide a framework for development of optimally effective\, targeted interventions for each individual that considers\na. Morphological variants & implications for load management advice\, exercise therapy and manual therapy\nb. Adverse joint or soft tissue loading associated with kinematics and neuromotor function\nc. Individual goals and functional demands\n• Provide opportunity to practice useful exercise therapy and nerve mobilisation techniques\nLearning Objectives: Upon completion of this course\, participants should be able to:\n• Perform diagnostic tests for lateral hip and buttock pain and use that information for differential diagnosis of the most likely source of nociception or a primary clinical entity\n• Provide evidence-based load management and exercise strategies for lateral hip pain\n• Assess and develop management strategies for posterior hip joint instability\n• Recognise occurrence of and potential drivers for extra-articular impingements such as ischiofemoral and greater trochanteric impingement\n• Develop management strategies for these extra-articular bony impingements\n• Differentially diagnose ischial pain\, including diagnostic tests for proximal hamstring tendinopathy\n• Apply neurodynamic assessment and mobilisation techniques relevant to the lateral hip and buttock\, and consider the impact of soft tissue interfaces\n• Recognise the important anatomical relationships and functional roles of the deep external rotators \n  \nOnline Theory\nThe substantial theoretical component of this course is presented in an online learning format for your flexibility and optimal learning experience.\n• 4-6 hours of PowerPoint lectures with printable notes.\n• Learn anywhere\, at your own pace\, in your own time.\n• Rewind and revise as many times as you like.\n• Online forum for discussion.\n• Self-assessment quiz.\n• 3 months of unlimited access to video content\nThe online component aims to:\n• Clarify definitions and diagnoses of lateral hip and buttock pain\n• Explore factors which may influence loads across the lateral hip & buttock and predispose to intra or extra-articular impingement\, such as:\na. morphological variants (e.g. bony structure\, soft tissue – neural relationships)\nb. adverse soft tissue loading associated with kinematics and neuromotor function (focus on hip abductors and short external rotators).\n• Provide an overview of key load management and therapeutic exercise strategies for lateral hip and buttock pain\, particular to the patient presentation and associated difficulties with mechanical load transfer.\n• Provide an update on scientific evidence for underlying diagnostic and management approaches \nPractical Workshop\nThe practical workshop will guide participants through diagnostic tests and management strategies for lateral hip and buttock pain. There is now high-quality evidence for assessment and management of gluteal tendinopathy from the ‘LEAP’ lateral hip pain randomised clinical trial\, of which Alison was a key investigator. Participants will receive first-hand instruction on techniques\, advice regarding how best to apply this approach in clinical practice and valuable troubleshooting for slow or non-responders. \nThe workshop with then delve into the other lesser-known problems associated with buttock pain that may present diagnostic and management challenges – posterior joint instability\, bony impingements\, peripheral nerve entrapments and musculotendinous overload. Understanding the impact of bony morphology\, soft tissue interfaces and postural and movement patterns is critical to optimal management of these conditions. \nThe one-day practical workshop will include:\nDiagnostic tests\, management strategies & key exercises for:\na. gluteal tendinopathy & associated soft tissue pathologies\nb. posterior hip joint instability\nc. extra articular impingements *ischiofemoral impingement\nd. deep gluteal syndrome/extraspinal sciatica\ne. proximal hamstring tendinopathy \nManual will be supplied.\nIncludes light refreshment for morning and afternoon tea.\nBring your own lunch or there are plenty of nearby options to explore.

SUMMARY:Mastering Movement of the Hip & PelvisBrisbane June 18th 2021
DESCRIPTION:Mastering Movement of The Hip & Pelvis\n\nSynopsis\nDo you have a clear understanding of when\, why and how to assess and address muscle dysfunction around the hip and pelvis\, in order to optimise and expedite patient outcomes? \nDo you find yourself prescribing the same exercises for every hip & groin pain patient\, regardless of their presentation? \nDo your patients perform the same program for weeks or months without progressions or an understanding of what they are attempting to achieve and why?\n \nWould you like to Fast Track your hip and groin Rehab? \n\nMovement patterning and muscle function around the hip and pelvis are key considerations for any lumbopelvic or lower limb problem and may even impact on upper limb function. Assessment and retraining in this region require a specific and targeted approach that should consider the multifaceted requirements for optimal function and the limitations of an individual’s musculoskeletal system. With respect to current practices around muscle testing and exercise prescription\, often strength is the only consideration. While this is an important consideration\, normal results on strength testing may be returned from a muscle synergy within which significant dysfunction exists. If weakness is not the primary deficit\, generic strengthening may worsen rather than improve the situation by reinforcing poor recruitment strategies or imbalance in the contribution of muscles within a movement synergy e.g. TFL within the abductor synergy. In exercise literature\, often maximal EMG is the sole indicator used for exercise selection. EMG levels are not reflective of force generation and high levels of EMG may simply reflect active insufficiency where the muscle is not at an optimal range to generate force efficiently. This premise also assumes that maximal recruitment is optimal for muscle retraining and musculoskeletal health. While higher EMG levels may be required for enhancing strength or more particularly for hypertrophy\, other factors should be considered. \nChoosing an exercise with highest %MVC \n–  in a disadvantageous length-tension relationship \n– while encouraging poor recruitment patterning and efficiency \n– with high load imposed on underlying joints or soft tissues may not be in the best interests of achieving optimal or painfree function. \nLearning Objectives\nThis course aims to: \n\nEnhance clinical reasoning\, and skills for development of therapeutic exercise for the hip & pelvis\nChallenge participants to re-examine their own clinical practiced in the light of the presented evidence base\nStimulate new thought & provide direction for those who may be interested in contributing to the research base that is shaping contemporary clinical practice in this field.\n\nLearning Objectives\nUpon completion of this course\, participants should be able to: \n\nPerform a multifaceted assessment of muscle function for each group of synergists around the hip – hip flexors\, abductors\, extensors\, external rotators and adductors\, using standardised\, objective measures\nDetermine the most appropriate exercise approach to target specific impairments in:\n\n\nMuscle size & strength\nMuscle endurance – global or regional\nPower\, rate of force development\, plyometric ability\, agility\nNeuromotor function – kinematic and muscle recruitment patterns\n\n\nProgress an exercise program in an appropriate & timely manner\, using key markers for exercise effect & tolerance.\n\nOnline Theory\nThe substantial theoretical component of this course is presented in an online learning format for your flexibility and optimal learning experience. \n\n4 hours of PowerPoint lectures with printable notes.\nLearn anywhere\, at your own pace\, in your own time.\nRewind and revise as many times as you like.\nOnline forum for discussion.\nSelf-assessment quiz.\n3 months of unlimited access to video content\n\nThe content of this online component covers: \n\nDetailed review of functional anatomy of hip & pelvic musculature\nChanges in muscle function associated with joint pathology & unloading\nImplications for prescription of therapeutic exercise\n\nPractical Workshop\nThe one-day practical workshop will provide opportunity to develop skills in: \n\nAssessment of the different aspects of muscle function for each group of synergists around the hip – hip flexors\, abductors\, extensors\, external rotators and adductors\, using standardised\, objective measures\nDevelopment of a therapeutic exercise program that addresses specific dysfunction within a muscle synergy while considering\n\nOptimal efficiency and load-sharing within a muscle synergy and across the kinetic chain\nImpact on health of musculoskeletal tissues such as the underlying joint\, local tendons and transiting nerves\nSpecific needs of the individual\nIndividual morphology or pathology\n\n\n\nManual will be supplied. \nIncludes light refreshment for morning and afternoon tea. \nBring your own lunch or there are plenty of nearby options to explore. \n

SUMMARY:Anterior Hip & Groin Pain  |  Live Online Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Do you find yourself using the same management approaches for patients with hip pain\, regardless of their presentation?\nAre you lacking a clear understanding of how morphology\, loading patterns and muscle dysfunction drive anterior hip and groin pain?\nDo you want to learn how to address these issues to optimise and FAST-TRACK YOUR OUTCOMES?\n  \n\nThis course includes:\n• 5 hours of PowerPoint lessons with printable notes\n• Access content from 19th April 2021\n• 6 x weekly emails to guide your progress\n• Culminating in 2 x 3-hour live zoom sessions\n  \nWhat’s more\,\n• 3 months of unlimited access to online learning content\n• Rewind and revise as many times as you like\n• Learn anywhere\, at your own pace\, in your own time\n• Self-assessment quiz to evaluate your progress\n\n  \nSynopsis\nAn exploration of the available anterior hip and groin pain literature reveals a minefield of inconsistent diagnostic labels and a high volume of imaging and surgical papers describing a myriad of pathologies which may or may not be associated with a patient’s presenting signs and symptoms. In recent years there have been some positive advances in defining clinical entities and diagnostic processes. Yet there is a persistent lack of clarity and evidence around best management. This may be related to undue focus on remediating a particular structural pathology or physical impairment\, without adequate consideration of mechanisms or drivers of pain and load intolerance. Within the contemporary biopsychosocial model\, health professionals acknowledge that patients may present with varying combinations of psychological and physical overload. While the psychosocial components of management are of high importance\, these will not be addressed in detail within this forum\, but much education is widely available on this topic. The primary focus will be on understanding and addressing mechanisms of physical overload and impairments associated with anterior hip and groin pain. \nOnline Theory\nThe substantial theoretical component of this course is presented in an online learning format for your flexibility and optimal learning experience. To keep everyone on track to have completed this content prior to the live workshop\, you will receive an email series to guide you through this content. This will involve a time commitment of approximately 1 hour per week. Access to the online content will begin on April 19th 2021\, from which time you will receive 6 weekly emails to guide your progress. You will also be free to go ahead or review any of the lessons over the following 3 month period. \n• 5 hours of PowerPoint lectures with printable notes.\n• Learn anywhere\, at your own pace\, in your own time.\n• Benefit from a guided reminder series of emails to ensure you complete the content\n• Rewind and revise as many times as you like.\n• Self-assessment quiz.\n• 3 months of unlimited access to online learning content. \nThe online component aims to: \n•Clarify definitions of anterior hip and groin pain\n• Explore factors which may influence intra-articular hip joint loads\n1. morphological variants (eg FAI\, acetabular dysplasia\, femoral version\, capsulo-labral deficits)\n2. adverse joint loading associated with kinematics and neuromotor function\n3. the adequacy of joint protection mechanisms\n• Explore factors which may influence extra-articular loads in the anterior hip region\n1. morphological variants (eg.

SUMMARY:Lateral Hip & Buttock PainContemporary diagnostic & management strategiesBrisbane July 19th 2020
DESCRIPTION:Lateral Hip & Buttock Pain\nContemporary diagnostic & management strategies \nSynopsis\nDo you have a list of possible diagnoses that jump to mind when someone presents with lateral hip or buttock pain?\nDo you consider posterior joint stability\, extra-articular impingements of the lesser or greater trochanter or peripheral nerve entrapments?\nWhat is your strategy for working through the differential diagnoses and which markers from your patient interview and physical examination determine your pathway towards each particular diagnosis?\nOnce you have determined the most likely diagnosis\, are you also able to identify and develop a plan to address the most potent drivers for each individual’s presentation?\nWould you like to Fast Track your lateral hip and buttock Rehab?\nLateral hip and particularly buttock pain can often present a diagnostic dilemma. The lumbar spine and sacroiliac joints may refer into these regions; intra-articular hip pathologies may be accompanied by lateral hip &/or buttock pain; local soft tissues & neural structures may be primary sources of nociception. The first step is determining the most likely contributors to the patient’s pain presentation. Developing an optimal management program with positive effects past the short term\, will also require an evaluation of physical & psychological drivers. Intrinsic & extrinsic factors should be considered within the overall context of workload. While non-modifiable factors (e.g. bony morphology) are by nature unable to be modified\, awareness of these factors can be integral to providing advice and interventions (active or passive) that ‘do no harm’ and development of strategies that allow maximal function with minimisation of adverse effects. \nLearning Objectives\nThis course aims to:\n• Enhance clinical reasoning\, and skills for assessment of nociceptive sources\, clinical entities and drivers associated with lateral hip & buttock pain\n• Provide a framework for development of optimally effective\, targeted interventions for each individual that considers\na. Morphological variants & implications for load management advice\, exercise therapy and manual therapy\nb. Adverse joint or soft tissue loading associated with kinematics and neuromotor function\nc. Individual goals and functional demands\n• Provide opportunity to practice useful exercise therapy and nerve mobilisation techniques\nLearning Objectives: Upon completion of this course\, participants should be able to:\n• Perform diagnostic tests for lateral hip and buttock pain and use that information for differential diagnosis of the most likely source of nociception or a primary clinical entity\n• Provide evidence-based load management and exercise strategies for lateral hip pain\n• Assess and develop management strategies for posterior hip joint instability\n• Recognise occurrence of and potential drivers for extra-articular impingements such as ischiofemoral and greater trochanteric impingement\n• Develop management strategies for these extra-articular bony impingements\n• Differentially diagnose ischial pain\, including diagnostic tests for proximal hamstring tendinopathy\n• Apply neurodynamic assessment and mobilisation techniques relevant to the lateral hip and buttock\, and consider the impact of soft tissue interfaces\n• Recognise the important anatomical relationships and functional roles of the deep external rotators \n  \nOnline Theory\nThe substantial theoretical component of this course is presented in an online learning format for your flexibility and optimal learning experience.\n• 4-6 hours of PowerPoint lectures with printable notes.\n• Learn anywhere\, at your own pace\, in your own time.\n• Rewind and revise as many times as you like.\n• Online forum for discussion.\n• Self-assessment quiz.\n• 3 months of unlimited access to video content\nThe online component aims to:\n• Clarify definitions and diagnoses of lateral hip and buttock pain\n• Explore factors which may influence loads across the lateral hip & buttock and predispose to intra or extra-articular impingement\, such as:\na. morphological variants (e.g. bony structure\, soft tissue – neural relationships)\nb. adverse soft tissue loading associated with kinematics and neuromotor function (focus on hip abductors and short external rotators).\n• Provide an overview of key load management and therapeutic exercise strategies for lateral hip and buttock pain\, particular to the patient presentation and associated difficulties with mechanical load transfer.\n• Provide an update on scientific evidence for underlying diagnostic and management approaches\n[wpcourse course=”7″ module_desc=”true” show_title=”false” show_desc=”false” /] \nPractical Workshop\nThe practical workshop will guide participants through diagnostic tests and management strategies for lateral hip and buttock pain. There is now high-quality evidence for assessment and management of gluteal tendinopathy from the ‘LEAP’ lateral hip pain randomised clinical trial\, of which Alison was a key investigator. Participants will receive first-hand instruction on techniques\, advice regarding how best to apply this approach in clinical practice and valuable troubleshooting for slow or non-responders. \nThe workshop with then delve into the other lesser-known problems associated with buttock pain that may present diagnostic and management challenges – posterior joint instability\, bony impingements\, peripheral nerve entrapments and musculotendinous overload. Understanding the impact of bony morphology\, soft tissue interfaces and postural and movement patterns is critical to optimal management of these conditions. \nThe one-day practical workshop will include:\nDiagnostic tests\, management strategies & key exercises for:\na. gluteal tendinopathy & associated soft tissue pathologies\nb. posterior hip joint instability\nc. extra articular impingements *ischiofemoral impingement\nd. deep gluteal syndrome/extraspinal sciatica\ne. proximal hamstring tendinopathy \nManual will be supplied.\nIncludes light refreshment for morning and afternoon tea.\nBring your own lunch or there are plenty of nearby options to explore.

SUMMARY:Mastering Movement of the Hip & PelvisBrisbane July 17th 2020
DESCRIPTION:Mastering Movement of The Hip & Pelvis\n\nSynopsis\nDo you have a clear understanding of when\, why and how to assess and address muscle dysfunction around the hip and pelvis\, in order to optimise and expedite patient outcomes? \nDo you find yourself prescribing the same exercises for every hip & groin pain patient\, regardless of their presentation? \nDo your patients perform the same program for weeks or months without progressions or an understanding of what they are attempting to achieve and why?\n \nWould you like to Fast Track your hip and groin Rehab? \n\nMovement patterning and muscle function around the hip and pelvis are key considerations for any lumbopelvic or lower limb problem and may even impact on upper limb function. Assessment and retraining in this region require a specific and targeted approach that should consider the multifaceted requirements for optimal function and the limitations of an individual’s musculoskeletal system. With respect to current practices around muscle testing and exercise prescription\, often strength is the only consideration. While this is an important consideration\, normal results on strength testing may be returned from a muscle synergy within which significant dysfunction exists. If weakness is not the primary deficit\, generic strengthening may worsen rather than improve the situation by reinforcing poor recruitment strategies or imbalance in the contribution of muscles within a movement synergy e.g. TFL within the abductor synergy. In exercise literature\, often maximal EMG is the sole indicator used for exercise selection. EMG levels are not reflective of force generation and high levels of EMG may simply reflect active insufficiency where the muscle is not at an optimal range to generate force efficiently. This premise also assumes that maximal recruitment is optimal for muscle retraining and musculoskeletal health. While higher EMG levels may be required for enhancing strength or more particularly for hypertrophy\, other factors should be considered. \nChoosing an exercise with highest %MVC \n–  in a disadvantageous length-tension relationship \n– while encouraging poor recruitment patterning and efficiency \n– with high load imposed on underlying joints or soft tissues may not be in the best interests of achieving optimal or painfree function. \nLearning Objectives\nThis course aims to: \n\nEnhance clinical reasoning\, and skills for development of therapeutic exercise for the hip & pelvis\nChallenge participants to re-examine their own clinical practiced in the light of the presented evidence base\nStimulate new thought & provide direction for those who may be interested in contributing to the research base that is shaping contemporary clinical practice in this field.\n\nLearning Objectives\nUpon completion of this course\, participants should be able to: \n\nPerform a multifaceted assessment of muscle function for each group of synergists around the hip – hip flexors\, abductors\, extensors\, external rotators and adductors\, using standardised\, objective measures\nDetermine the most appropriate exercise approach to target specific impairments in:\n\n\nMuscle size & strength\nMuscle endurance – global or regional\nPower\, rate of force development\, plyometric ability\, agility\nNeuromotor function – kinematic and muscle recruitment patterns\n\n\nProgress an exercise program in an appropriate & timely manner\, using key markers for exercise effect & tolerance.\n\nOnline Theory\nThe substantial theoretical component of this course is presented in an online learning format for your flexibility and optimal learning experience. \n\n4 hours of PowerPoint lectures with printable notes.\nLearn anywhere\, at your own pace\, in your own time.\nRewind and revise as many times as you like.\nOnline forum for discussion.\nSelf-assessment quiz.\n3 months of unlimited access to video content\n\nThe content of this online component covers: \n\nDetailed review of functional anatomy of hip & pelvic musculature\nChanges in muscle function associated with joint pathology & unloading\nImplications for prescription of therapeutic exercise\n\n[wpcourse course=”2″ module_desc=”true” show_title=”false” show_desc=”false” /] \nPractical Workshop\nThe one-day practical workshop will provide opportunity to develop skills in: \n\nAssessment of the different aspects of muscle function for each group of synergists around the hip – hip flexors\, abductors\, extensors\, external rotators and adductors\, using standardised\, objective measures\nDevelopment of a therapeutic exercise program that addresses specific dysfunction within a muscle synergy while considering\n\nOptimal efficiency and load-sharing within a muscle synergy and across the kinetic chain\nImpact on health of musculoskeletal tissues such as the underlying joint\, local tendons and transiting nerves\nSpecific needs of the individual\nIndividual morphology or pathology\n\n\n\nManual will be supplied. \nIncludes light refreshment for morning and afternoon tea. \nBring your own lunch or there are plenty of nearby options to explore. \n
