HPP offers a great way to improve your expertise through a multitude of ways.

A good place to start is working your way through the content of the site.  We would expect that all our listed Hip Pain Professionals have knowledge that includes all the relevant information from this website.  Starting at Hip Pain Explained is a good idea as it reviews in depth hip/pelvis anatomy and details what can wrong with various body sub-systems (joint, soft tissue, bone, back referral, peripheral nerve and other).

Follow our Hip Pain Blog that is directed to the general population.  Reading how we explain complex topics to the non-professional will aid your delivery of clinical education to your clients.

We would also encourage you learn from Dr Alison Grimaldi who is a Hip Pain Help founder and a highly respected clinical educator and physiotherapist.  On her website you will find a wealth of free learning as well as online courses and books.  Follow her twitter to learn if she is traveling to a city near you for the chance to learn from her in person.

We define a Hip Pain Professional as a scientifically trained, university qualified healthcare professional. You are required to have completed a degree at a university in your health profession. You must also be legally registered in your country to practice in the profession you are listing in the HPP directory and provide proof of current professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover.

The occupations of our professionals include: —

– Physiotherapist/Physical Therapist,

– Medical Doctor including – Primary Care/General Practitioner, Orthopaedic Surgeon, Sports Physician, Rheumatologist, etc

– Osteopath

– Chiropractor

– Exercise Scientist or Exercise Physiologist

– Podiatrist

– other including Occupational Therapist/Psychologist/Dietician.

We do not accept other health vocations or alternate medicine practitioners.

Although there is no minimum hip training requirement for membership we do expect all our registered members to familiarize themselves with the content of the website and to strive to learn more about the hip and evidence-lead care. We want to help you on your journey to become high quality practitioners.

We do randomly audit our professionals to ensure compliance with practicing requirements and for compliance with our Terms & Conditions. If any information is found to be incorrect at any time, HPP reserves the right to remove your listing immediately with no refund of monies paid.

An audit would entail that the individual professional listed on HPP would need to provide copies of: Photo ID, University Degree, current professional registration document and proof of currency of professional indemnity and pubic liability insurance cover within 20 days of being contact by email or their listing would be removed until this proof is provided.
