Injuries of the Hip & Groin

PROF. GRAHAM N. SMITH GradDipPhys FCSP DipTP CertED

One or two day workshop

Aims:

To give physiotherapists an understanding of the functional (and regional) anatomy of the hip and groin. Also, to identify the common injuries and problems likely to be encountered in this tightly packed anatomical region, including those of a pathological/inflammatory cause. The course will further aim to give an understanding of the principles of rehabilitation and treatments for patients with hip & groin injuries. Whilst specifically focused on musculoskeletal problems, the principles taught and demonstrated can be applied to all spheres of physiotherapeutic practice, including rheumatology, paediatrics & sports injuries.
