Gluteal Tendinopathy

Gluteal Tendinopathy

Review the latest evidence for the evaluation and treatment of this common condition
Physiopedia courses are always informative and relevant to my clinical practice. I particularly like the fact that there are courses to suit my schedule. When I have more time to spare I can participate in one of the longer course formats but for those times I am busy I can still manage to find time to do a short course. The short courses can be completed in an evening.
