– Pathomechanics of Athletic Hip and Groin Pain

– Components of Rehabilitation of Athletic Hip and Groin Pain

– Linear Running Mechanics and Groin Pain

– Multidirectional Mechanics and Groin Pain

– RTP decision making and injury prevention

The learning objectives:

i) Accurate Differential Diagnosis and ability to clinically reason multiple symptom sources.

ii) Understand the interaction of hip morphology with groin pain and differentiate symptomatic pathology from normal findings.

iii) Understand the factors that drive athletic groin pain and how to construct a rehabilitation programme focused on the drivers not the anatomical diagnosis.

iv) Develop exercise prescription and coaching skills to improve the effectiveness of rehabilitation programmes. v) Develop skills in the examination of high level sports specific activities such as sprinting and change of direction and understand their performance and influence on athletic groin pain.
