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

Reviews

What an excellent series of exercises to do hip neutrality! I learned so much from this course. I plan to do a lot of these exercises and assessments with clients. Thank you!! As a former ski racer, now aging and with very little knee cartilage left, I found some of the exercises aggravated my knees. Many of my clients would also have difficulty doing squats and lunges as well as internal external knee rotation. Though injury was mentioned more than once and variations given, I would have liked a few more alternatives or ways to progress up to some of the exercises and assessments. (My clients can often just tell me why they are not neutral - years of overuse etc. ) Many of my clients are older and former athletes and I do not want to assume a level of mobility that is just not there for them. I really did get a lot from the hands on experience of these exercises and I appreciated being able to do them alongside the instructor.

This was fantastic

The instructor was very clear and easy to follow. I appreciate video 2 being a complete session on "how to". I am eager to implement Hip Neutral in my life and in my workout designs for clients.
