Seminar Calendar
November 8 and 9, 2008
Indianapolis, IN
- Bring the Hesch Seminar to your facility or city
About the Seminar
Pelvic joint dysfunction, more than any other joint dysfunction, has been inadequately defined on the basis of gross motion tests and limited use of bony landmark palpation and has been poorly understood. While modern research has provided insight into anatomy and dysfunction, evolution of treatment methods has lagged behind.
The Hesch Method addresses the need for a new approach to evaluation and treatment. This method demystifies this complex region of the body. The two day seminar offers . . .
• a 10 to 1 participant to lab instructor ratio
• use of multiple anatomical models and kinetic tools
• advanced palpatory skills
• accessory motion tests (spring tests)
• a practical treatment approach
• extensive hands-on practice
• a 200 page, clearly-illustrated workbook with more than 175 references.
“Anatomical models and advanced techniques videos are available for purchase at the seminar or by contacting us.”
Learning Objectives for Hesch Seminars:
At the conclusion of the seminar, participants will be able to . . .
| • | Name the three joints of the pelvis, and describe their shape, orientation in space, movements, and axes of motion. |
|---|---|
| • | Explain the biomechanical and functional relationships between the pelvis and the lumbar spine. |
| • | Identify normal and dysfunctional movement patterns at the pelvis and lumbar spine. |
| • | Name and perform the components of a thorough lumbo-pelvic physical therapy evaluation. |
| • | Describe and treat the patterns of both asymmetrical and symmetrical lumbo-pelvic dysfunction. |
| • | Integrate hip pathology into the lumbo-pelvic dysfunction paradigm, and evaluate and treat the most common hip dysfunction. |
| • | Proficiently palpate landmarks of the pelvis, and perform spring testing in order to identify hypomobilities within the pelvic complex. |
| • | Describe lumbo-pelvic dysfunction from both a joint-dysfunction approach, and a postural-muscle length approach. |
| • | Prescribe effective physical therapy and home exercise plans for patients with lumbo-pelvic dysfunction. |
