The Irritable Hip: Conservative and Surgical Management Incorporating the Lumbar spine and Pelvis

What is hip arthroscopy? What causes acetabular labral tear? How does the lumbo-pelvic region contribute to hip joint problems? 
How can we tailor rehabilitation? Questions answered in this half day workshop!

Nichole Hamilton, physiotherapist with North Sydney Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine has worked closely with orthopaedic hip specialist Dr Michael O’Sullivan in developing the post-operative protocol for hip arthroscopy. This protocol is outlined in their half day workshop.  The surgical procedure and reasons for labral tear will be presented. This includes analysis of hip functional and strcutural impairments (including FAI and dysplasia) that may contribute to hip pain. Practical tests for lumbar-pelvic dysfunction and its effect on the hip will be outlined. Examples of suitable manual therapy and practical demonstration of rehabilitation exercise in line with the 12 week post-operative protocol will be included.
