The Lumbopelvic Hip Complex is unpredictable. You've been there before — a patient comes to you complaining of sciatica, so you treat the pain at its source. The next week, they return, but now it's groin pain. You adjust your plan, address the new complaint, and send them on their way. Then, like clockwork, they come back with yet another issue—hip tightness, low back discomfort, or a new referral pattern.
Sigh of relief — it's not just you experiencing this frustration, and you're certainly not a bad clinician when you do.
Because like thousands of other seasoned pros, it's easy to chase symptoms and find yourself in a cycle of reactivity instead of resolution. But it's easily fixable!
That's exactly why this course exists. Instead of playing symptom whack-a-mole, you'll develop the clinical reasoning to identify the true driver of dysfunction on day 1 — whether it's a faulty movement pattern, a fascial restriction, a weakened muscle group, or a hidden compensation elsewhere in the kinetic chain.
Guided by superior clinicians like Rina Pandya, PT, Darrell Locket, ATC, Krystina Holland, PT, Reid Nelles, DC, and 3 others, this course blends in-depth differential diagnostics with dynamic hands-on interventions and corrective exercises so you can break the cycle of temporary relief and deliver lasting solutions.
No more guessing. No more chasing. Just clear, actionable strategies that seamlessly integrate into your practice — so your patients can move with confidence, stay pain-free, and get back to the activities they love.
And because we're so confident you'll leave with game-changing skills, we back this with a satisfaction guarantee.

- Learn how to select the right special test so you can narrow in on the right interventions faster
Be prepared to gain the essential knowledge you need to make informed, evidence-based decisions that can significantly impact your clinical outcomes.
The information you collect from the assessment is critical in setting the tone for your treatment session. Join Reid Nelles, DC, and unlock a clear and easy-to-follow system to:
- Select the right tests to use based on your patient's reports — Active, passive, or restrictive?
- Identify which tests are the most effective for your patient
- Determine the order of your assessment tests, and if order actually matters

From treating Olympic athletes to training active army fighter pilots — Darrell has developed a one-of-a-kind system that repairs the lumbopelvic hip complex through a full kinetic chain approach. Immerse yourself in a hands-on workshop teaching you step-by-step progressions/regressions to:
- Treat chronic back/neck pain, hamstring tendinopathy, psoas pain, thoracolumbar weakness, and more.
- Stretch, strengthen, and release tightness in the psoas major and iliacus musculature.
- Repair upper- and lower-crossed syndromes & sacroiliac and lumbosacral inter-muscular relationships.
On top of that, you'll get access to Darrell's treasure trove of soft-tissue manual mobilizations, functional taping techniques, trigger point therapies, myofascial releases, and so many more multidisciplinary interventions.
Sometimes corrective movement, facilitated exercises, and strength training just don't move the needle when it comes to low back pain. With dual experience as a PT and LMT, Theresa Schmidt will demonstrate easy-to-use manual techniques to release pain and restore mobility for the lumbar spine.
- Quickly identify lumbar spinal impairments, areas of tenderness/pain, and fascial restrictions
- Fast-acting and easy-to-use methods to manually release mobility restrictions in the lower back
- Expert solutions to decrease wear and tear on your own hands — so you can treat without fatigue
Skillfully connecting patient-centered care, clinical practice guidelines, and targeted manual techniques, Theresa will show you how to make on-the-spot decisions that will give relief to your patients, while being easily reimbursable.
To unlock the secrets of quickly addressing unresolved sacroiliac joint pain, you need a joint-by-joint approach that incorporates the whole system. Join Dr. Mullholland to learn:
- Thoracic spine and hip mobility drills to improve functional performance
- Core strengthening exercises to re-establish motor control, helping prevent SI joint pain
- Skilled techniques to master and teach the 'hip hinge' with different activities to add loading
Plus, you'll learn how to identify areas of your patient's body that need mobility versus areas that need stability.
Pelvic health is not just a mom problem — because everyone has a pelvis. With wide-ranging symptoms from UTIs, incontinence, pelvic pain, bladder discomfort, and sexual issues, you need simple assessments that quickly locate the problem. Join Krystyna Holland and discover how you can:
- Sharpen your understanding of the musculoskeletal foundation of the core and pelvic floor
- Appropriately screen for pelvic floor dysfunction by asking questions that matter
- Normalize the function of the pelvic floor and improve patient body awareness
Plus, learn the most effective exercises for the pelvic floor muscles, and discuss the impact of modalities like… Dilators, Pelvic Wands, and Vaginal Weights.

on-demand access to 1 additional bonus training!
With this bonus training, you'll delve into the most common causes of hip pain in an active patient population, excluding arthritis. You'll review the biomechanics of the hip to diagnose and treat these problems based on their location: anterior, lateral, and posterior. Specific attention will be paid to the physical examination of the hip, with several instructional videos for you to reference back to at any time!
