The pelvis, hip and groin is a complex region of the body, with multiple pathologies coexisting and large forces being generated and absorbed through this region during almost all sports. Many local structures can generate pain in this region, and to further complicate matters, there are a number of structures that can refer pain into the area.

Perhaps nowhere else in the body is there currently a wider gap between the teachings of clinical practice and scientific fact.

is our attempt to blend the latest research, the opinion of experts in the field, and our own personal experience of current clinical concepts; to marry the art and science of management together in a clear and understandable way.

This course was first established in the UK in 2004, and has so far taught over 2000 therapists in the UK, as well a being delivered internationally. The course covers a collection of published research articles and ideas, brought together by the teachings of many leading clinicians we have come into contact with over the years. We have drawn on our collective experiences working with elite athletes through The English & Australian Institutes of Sport, within professional teams, The Olympics and National teams, post graduate studies and numerous clinical courses. Our aim is to piece together a framework for assessing and treating what is challenging yet rewarding area - The Sporting Hip & Groin
