Join us for this in-person con-ed course “The Hip - A Pivotal Joint in the Lower Quarter: Comprehensive Evaluation and Treatment Approach”

Cost: $295 for APTA members, $325 for non-members

CEU: 9 contact hours (0.9 CEUs pending approval by CPTA)

Description: This practical and comprehensive course integrates anatomy, biomechanics,

neurology, and functional integration. Dr. Ghandour will discuss in detail the lower

quarter unhappy triad (lumbar, hip and SI -Joint) and its impact on stability and gait. He

will discuss and demonstrate a progressive approach to evaluating, training the hip

joint, lumbar and hip muscle recruitment culminating into stability during function and

return to sport. Specific strategies to optimize movement and muscle recruitment

using muscle dynamics and exercise principles will be discussed. Dr. Ghandour will

demonstrate the use of mobilization belts and pulleys and demonstrate home exercise

strategies designed to maintain the gains made in the clinic. This course info will be

ready to use on Monday.
