AMP's Knowledge Project: Evidence, Insight and Management of Lumbo-Pelvic & Hip Disorders
Lumbo-pelvic disorders can be overwhelming to treat. This course cuts through the noise and will show you how to help your patients get better. Includes a full suite of thrust and non-thrust manual therapy techniques.

The goal of this course is for you to successfully learn and transfer evidence into your clinical practice. This sounds easy, but it takes intention and strategy to do it successfully. Most weekend courses do not achieve a material change in practice. The short time frame and the lack of opportunity to practice new skills and knowledge in a clinical setting do not facilitate consolidation. That’s why we’ve revisioned a weekend course to take place over the course of a month with structured reflection, regular prompting, high frequency touch points, and a chance to, again and again, engage with the material and transfer it to your clinical practice while being supported by course facilitators.
We guarantee that this course will enhance your practice.
This 4 week blended online and in-person course will focus on improving clinician ability to treat patients presenting with lumbopelvic and hip disorders. Learn select high yield manual therapy skills that are supported by evidence and that you will use on a regular basis. More importantly, develop skills that will allow you to stage and classify patients to specific interventions and progress them through an exercise-based rehabilitation program that builds self-efficacy and resiliency. This course will also develop your communication and pedagogical strategies. You will gain insight and skills to effectively apply principles from pain sciences; which will maximize both patient outcomes and patient satisfaction.
