Hips: close up and personal
Ariele Foster, DPT, teaches with such care that you feel like you're chatting with a friend. She explains complicated concepts in a way that is understandable and relatable and every question from students are tied back to the purpose of the lesson. This is a great course for everyone who wants to understand more about how their hips work and potentially recognize and correct problem movements before injury (or at least learn when to seek help). Novices to anatomy are welcomed in this non-threatening atmosphere.
