You look after your lawn, you water it regularly, you fertilize it twice a year, you weed it with passion but the guy next door has dandelions. Guess what – you’re going to get dandelions too. The same is true of the hip and spine. They are next door neighbours and each has the potential to negatively impact on the other.

The “hip – spine syndrome” was first described by McNabb in 1983 with symptoms from both sites giving a confusing clinical picture that require a detailed history and examination to diagnose the major source of disability. Failure to recognize and effectively manage concurrent dysfunction at both the hip and spine may lead to misdiagnosis, erroneous treatment and poor clinical outcomes.

This hybrid-learning event includes a six-part distance learning program that reviews the theoretical concept and scientific evidence, the medical masqueraders, clinical assessment of the hip and lumbo-sacral spine. The evidence-supported foundational and adjunctive interventions are presented for you to in an intensive, one-day skills lab January 14, 2023. The skills developed in this interactive, hands-on session will empower you to effectively manage the hip spine syndrome.

Distance learning: Six-part, self-paced over 4 weeks prior and following the in-class skills lab.
