• Are you keen to learn more about the complex hip and pelvis?
• Would you like the opportunity for a one day workshop, covering theory in biomechanics and also hands on practical work?
• Or would you like the option for at home learning with online lectures taken at your own pace?
Nichole Hamilton’s enthusiasm for education and background in teaching began in 2007, with her first lectures on the management of hip and pelvic pain with North Sydney Sports Medicine based on her extensive experience alongside her orthopaedic colleague Dr Michael O’Sullivan. This soon developed into her current one day hip workshop for physiotherapists.
Nichole’s aim is to provide a supportive learning environment with practical assessment and treatment skills that can be used the next day in your clinic. She looks forward to meeting you on her next workshop!
One Day Workshop for Physio’s: “The Irritable Hip”
“The Irritable Hip” – A one day workshop for physiotherapists that provides a combined understanding of anatomy, biomechanics, exercise prescription and an integrated understanding of different elements that can contribute to hip pain in individual patients. Nichole’s aim is to provide a supportive learning environment with practical assessment and treatment skills that can be used the next day in your clinic.
• What is hip arthroscopy?
• What causes acetabular labral tear?
• How does the lumbo-pelvic region and lower limb chain contribute to hip joint problems?
• How can we tailor rehabilitation unique to each patient?
Your questions answered in this workshop!
This one day workshop combines theory and practice to give you a greater understanding of the pelvic and hip region! Nichole outlines reasons for labral tear and anterior hip load, as well as analysis of hip functional and structural impairments (including FAI and dysplasia) that may contribute to hip pain.
She outlines practical tests for lumbar-pelvic and hip dysfunction that can be used in the clinic the next day. She also outlines other biomechanical dysfunctions within the lower limb chain and trunk that can have an effect on the hip pain.
Examples of suitable manual therapy and practical demonstration of rehabilitation exercise in line with the 12 week post-operative protocol will be included for you to start using in the clinic on Monday.
