Course Description

In this fun and interactive movement lab course we will observe, analyze and participate in movement based exercises while learning new treatment strategies designed for immediate clinical application. This approach goes beyond strengthening the muscles to teaching integrated movement patterns that simultaneously elicit core muscle activation, stretch and strengthen relevant hip muscles, facilitate proprioceptive self-awareness, postural control and body mechanics optimization. Since recent Regional Interdependence research has shown a clear correlation between hip limitation and low back pain, we know the hips need to be mobilized in one or more directions to reduce lumbar hypermobility stresses. But sometimes the hips themselves are unstable; people with trochanteric pain syndrome, femuro-acetabular impingements, hip replacements and damaged labrums need to learn stabilization. Considering the complex regional inter-relationships in this area and the repetitive and unconscious nature of human movement, muscle strengthening alone does not guarantee stability. Nor does it force a change in the habitual and suboptimal movement and postural patterns that created the instability in the first place. Carrying forward aspects of current stabilization principles but progressing to something both more informative and functional, we can borrow from selected aspects of dynamically integrated movement systems to improve patient compliance, outcomes and extrapolation to daily activities. Connecting the dots between exercise and ADLs is imperative for long lasting results. Come experience a refreshing new perspective, you will never see movement and exercise the same way again!

Course Objectives

By the completion of this course, the participant will be able to:

  • Define Regional Interdependence & Specificity Principle
  • List three primary differences between Static Integration & Dynamic Integration based exercise
  • Define the difference between Global & Differentiated movement or postural patterns and list two examples of each in the low back/hip region
  • List three principles of Optimal Movement and give examples of common hip/lumbar injuries resulting from sub-optimal movement
  • Define a Pelvic Force Couple and list the relevant pairs of muscle synergists
  • Explain how teaching techniques make exercise more “informational”; reciprocating movements, use of constraints, change of venue, goldilocks principle and link to functional context

Course Outline

Lab sessions include experiential movement, partner observation, facilitation techniques, modifications & discussion of clinical relevance.
