Managing the Spino-Pelvic-Hip Complex: An integrated approach
On the 21st of November 2022 my first book will be published – Managing the Spino-Pelvic-Hip Complex: An integrated approach
The book is based on my extensive clinical experience of assessing and treating athletes at all levels. With two decades of experience working in the field of high-performance multi-sports I have refined my clinical reasoning and treatment philosophies which are also based upon lessons I have learnt from challenging the science through a Doctor of Philosophy degree.
This book encompasses a complete management strategy for manual practitioners to use when dealing with ongoing issues pertaining to the spino-pelvic-hip complex. Presenting a strategy aimed at simplifying functional, biomechanical and bio-psychosocial analysis models that can be used as diagnostic tools to highlight kinetic chain and/or specific segmental restrictions in the spino-pelvic-hip complex. In the book I give a rationale for the application of the treatment specific to the needs of the athlete, using the appropriate manual techniques to the lumbar spine, pelvis and hip joint that are complemented by strategies for active lifestyle management, incorporating activation techniques and movement control exercises.
Managing the Spino-Pelvic-Hip Complex: an integrated approach complements the courses that the I have developed and deliver. It can also be used as a stand-alone educational tool and will be helpful for any therapist working within the clinical or sporting environment.
