Current Advances in the Management of Hip Pain (Frizelle - Online)

Course overview

Hip pain is one of the most challenging presentations in rehabilitation, with causes ranging from structural issues such as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) to soft tissue conditions like gluteal tendinopathy, as well as complex neural and groin-related pathologies. This seminar is designed to give physical therapists a comprehensive, evidence-based framework for evaluating and managing these conditions. Through detailed exploration of anatomy, biomechanics, and current research, participants will learn to differentiate between overlapping sources of hip pain and select the most effective treatment strategies. In addition to sharpening diagnostic skills, the course emphasizes practical interventions that can be immediately applied in the clinic. Attendees will gain hands-on experience with targeted manual therapy techniques, progressive exercise prescription, and movement retraining strategies that optimize recovery and function. Whether treating athletes with groin pain, older adults with tendon pathology, or active patients struggling with persistent hip discomfort, this seminar equips clinicians with the tools and confidence to improve outcomes across diverse patient populations.
