Stable Hips, Balanced Life

When it comes to issues associated with unstable hips, the good news is that simple exercises, when applied correctly, can bring relief from chronic pain and positively impact your clients’ quality of life.

This 2-hour course covers function, assessment, and alignment of the hip complex. Led by John Lindala, a biomechanics specialist with a Master of Science in Performance Enhancement and Injury Prevention, you’ll learn how misalignment of the hips can impact the surrounding joints and tissues, as well as performance of the ankle, knee, and spinal column.

You’ll also be guided through a 5 phase workout program designed to relieve pain and poor alignment throughout the hip complex. With phases, that include hip flexion, hip extension, hip abduction, hip adduction, and dynamic tension, the theory behind the workout program and each specific exercise will be explained, ensuring that you’ll be well-equipped with a tool to use with future clients. From active agers to athletes, this course will prepare you to help restore movement and balance into the lives of clients through hip health.

Upon completion, you will be able to:

  • Understand how hip function directly affects performance of the ankle, knee, and spinal column
  • Assess asymmetries of the hip and apply strategic training techniques to correct form and function
  • Balance and stabilize the soft tissue affecting alignment of the hip complex through exercise
  • Develop individualized workout plans for clients to address issues related to hip stabilization

This was one of the most, if not the, most helpful CEUs I've taken. God content, good explanation, spent a lot of time on actual exercises. Also, the I love that the exercises didn't require equipment, they're practical exercises I've incorporated into my group class routines.

Great balance between science/instruction and practice of movement for hip stabilization. I really felt the difference after completing the exercises in video 2! Will implement into my fitness practice.

some of the terminology mentioned in the "quiz" was not mentioned in his talk. In the quiz there were lots of kinesiology terms which were not mentioned in his lecture. I looked up some terms on google.

Wow! Excellent course!! John Lindala was hands on with a practical and well developed series of exercises. These hip exercises are magical (once you finish)! I have had chronic left hip and low back discomfort for a number of years and I could not believe how good I felt, how light and comfortable I moved once I completed all of these exercises. Thank you!
