Biomechanical Assessment: Working with Common Soft Tissue Conditions of the Tri-Plane Hip with Rick Merriam
This workshop focuses on the hip and muscles that consistently play the biggest role in chronic low back, hip, knee and foot pain. Learn to look beyond trigger points and "tight muscles" and understand that many orthopedic conditions can be traced back to the biomechanics of human function. The right assessment tools and a different thought process will allow you to work on the "big rocks", achieving the best results in the shortest amount of time. Participants will also learn why it's not what you do, but how you do it, that makes all the difference with stretching.
