Saturday Breakout Session: Hip/Pelvic Mobility & Stability

​

Dr. Mark King will teach the clinical evaluation of the hip and pelvis, adjustive techniques, rehabilitation of the iliofemoral and SI joints, and clinical management. Emphasis on assessment, corrective procedures, rehab, and case management will be done in the lecture and demonstration sections. The class is designed to help clinicians become clinically effective and time efficient when managing patients with hip and sacroiliac issues. 

​

This is a hands on seminar, so attendees are encouraged to bring their own adjustments tables to class if possible.
