Pelvis Two – Hip and Femur

Those who wish to enrol in both Pelvis One and Pelvis Two courses, can visit Pelvis Bundle

Course Description

This course is designed to improve a movement professional’s understanding of the structures of the pelvis and femur. Part of the course is devoted to understanding the anatomy and physiology of the spine, and how this relates to how we work in the studio as a movement professional.

Course participants will gain a better understanding of how certain exercises relate to the gait and the pelvis, and also provide participants with the capacity to critically analyse specific pathologies.

The pathologies, conditions and interventions explored include:
// drop foot
// trendelenburg gait
// femoral/acetabular impingement
// labral tears
// hip dysplasia
// pelvic fractures
// hip replacements

We also look at strategies for exercises and movements that will help facilitate recovery, and minimise the risk of further injuries. We discuss strategies for working with people with chronic pelvis and femur issues that can easily be implemented straight away in the studio. The lessons provide clear instructions on cueing in order to help teachers support their clients in a safe and supported way.

After this course the student should have an understanding of:
// the gait cycle and specific gait dysfunctions (e.g. drop foot, trendelenburg gait)
// the application of the gait cycle to specific Pilates repertoire and modifications
// hip dysplasia and labral tears and ideas for progression and movement for a client with hip restrictions
// pelvic fractures (with a case study on application of repertoire)
// ideas of progression for movement and considerations for goal setting, motivations and working in a multidisciplinary team

Who is this course for

Any movement teachers wanting to expand their knowledge of the hip and femur in particular. This can be a good introductory course to the anatomy and physiology of the pelvis and the femur, but also works as a refresher for teachers who would like to build their confidence in dealing with conditions in this area.
