The Vital Hip Joint & Groin Masterclass allows you, as an already highly qualified therapist, to focus on this specific joint and related musculature. The course is very intense and runs over a single day.
On completion you will have the knowledge and practical experience necessary to identify, assess and treat specific dysfunction within the hip joint, leading to greater treatment success, happier customers and a more profitable business.

The advanced nature of the course content requires you have a high standard of both theoretical and practical knowledge.

WHY SHOULD YOU TRAIN WITH ME?
I’m the creator of the Bodymaster Method® and I’ve spent years teaching post-graduate professionals worldwide to become the ‘go-to’ therapist in their area. My courses are built on everything I have learned as an osteopath, writer, researcher and lecturer.
The Bodymaster Method® is different from what you learned at university. You were probably taught to look at the site of pain, possibly perform hands-on therapy, and load the tissue with eccentric loading. The Bodymaster method® teaches you to look at your client as a whole person, not just at the site of pain.
In this course, you’ll learn how to identify specific soft tissue dysfunction and weaknesses typically found within the hip and groin and harness powerful advanced soft tissue techniques to restore function to your patients.
