Differentiating the source of buttock pain can often be challenging & frustrating. Directing management to the incorrect source will only negate a good outcome, create fearfulness and anxiety in the patient which may potentially lead to a chronic pain state.
As Clinicians, we need to be able, clinically, to differentiate between a local source (Local nerve entrapment, Gluteal tendinopathy, ‘Piriformis syndrome’, Hamstring, Ischiofemoral tendinaopthy (eg)) versus a Lumbar spine referral (Facet joint arthropathy, Nerve root entrapment, Spinal stenosis (eg)) or an SIJ referral. We also can’t afford to miss ‘red flags’ such as spondyloarthropathies or gynaecological issues.
An accurate clinical diagnosis, aided by the appropriate investigations will direct us to better treatment & rehabilitation.
The aim of this Live Webinar is to empower the attendee to better diagnose & manage this patient group, including assisting & advising the patient of how to deal with all other associated factors or ancillaries, such as weight, hormonal influences, co-morbidities & sleep hygiene.
Ratings and Reviews
Great amount of info in a short course. Interesting and engaging throughout the full 2 hours. Loved the focus on differentiation and exercises for the different pathologies.

I enjoyed the course- being a Bio it was quite intense and a lot of information to take in- I definately learned a lot about the whole Bum complex and would have to refer to a physio for proper diagnosis, which sounds like even they might struggle... I think there was maybe too much information and it could have been 2 courses - broken down a bit slower and more points?!
It was a very informative and interestingly presented course. Thank you!
Great course!! Very interesting, informative and fun! 😉
Tanya did such an excellent job teaching this common yet difficult subject with a great sense of humour. One of the most interesting courses I’ve heard in a long time. I shall save it and study it again.
I liked the overall explanation of how to properly evaluate the patient, take history, listen to the patients complaints and doing a furrow evaluation of the lumbar spine and hip. How to incorporate FADIR as a possible OA hip was something new to me, and will be used in my practice.
It was all good. Just a little hard to keep up with the speed of the presentation.
Thanks Tanya for a well presented course and keeping us entertained. at the same time. Great to get your well researched and evidence based insights into this sometimes difficult and challenging condition.
Excellent course focussing on the differential diagnoses. Engaging and informative.
