The Combined Approach: Hip and Groin

A clinical reasoning led approach to the assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of the causes of hip, groin and buttock pain.

About the Course

(For future course listings, click here)

Hip and Groin pain is a common presentation in clinical practice in a variety of patient groups. In some sports it is one of the most common site of pain and the pubis is the most common site of abnormality on imaging. In pregnancy pubic pain is again common and often disabling.

In many groups hip joint pathology occurs frequently and later in life it is a common cause of pain and disability. And added to this are people with referred pain to the groin, hip and buttock from spinal and pelvic sources.

The complexity of managing hip and groin presentations is firstly one of diagnosis, which in turn relates to the complicated anatomy of the region and loads transferred between the lower limbs and the trunk. Many structures are involved and their interactions complex.

In this course we will look at functional anatomy, pathology, assessment and diagnosis, management including manual therapy interventions and rehabilitation options for each aspect of groin pain from a topographical perspective of clinical reasoning, using the latest published works to provide guidance for our interventions.
