What will I learn?
How degenerative labral tears are caused and what you can do to prevent them from happening (or keep them from getting worse).
Understanding the diagnosis of deep gluteal syndrome and why we’ve moved away from calling all hip pain piriformis syndrome.
Why FAI and hip impingement is so dependent on pelvic orientation and how you can quickly extend hip flexion range of motion while decreasing pain. (Squat lower without front hip pinching).
How to unstick the sacrum and coccyx to relieve tailbone pain and tightness. Restore relative motion at the hips, pelvis, and sacrum through exercise for lasting results. Freeing the sacrum feels amazing!
Why the piriformis and other deep hip rotators (like the obturators) hold tension, pinch nerves, and cause deep butt pain. Take away exercises to help re-orient the pelvis to put the glutes at a more advantageous angle to work and get rid of that deep glute pain forever.
Why SI joint pain and SPD pain are often the product of muscle imbalances. Learn assessment techniques to know which exercises to focus on for lasting results. No more guessing with a shotgun approach!
Why hip bursitis is actually quite rare and more people with outer hip pain actually show a strained glute medius or minimus instead. Learn exercises to help heal the strain and eliminate the movement patterns that led to the issue.
What causes hamstring tightness, and how to loosen up tight hamstrings quickly and without stretching.
