Iliopsoas strains are generally regarded to be an overuse injury. While any of us can injure our iliopsoas, sprinters, gymnasts, athletes who perform repeated hip flexion movements, and athletes who engage in plyometric jumping exercises (short-term, high-energy exercises) are at a much higher risk for the condition, due to the nature of their activities.

Our canine athletes are also required to sprint as well as perform high-energy jumping and other repetitive activities. So, it's easy to understand why hip flexor strains are identified so often in performance dogs.

Is your canine athlete... Showing less power and drive from the hind limbs? Reluctant to jump or knocking bars with the hind legs? Slightly off-loading or turning a hind limb out to the side when he's standing? Do you see a shortened stride or step length in the hind limb at a trot? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, you may be dealing with an iliopsoas issue. 

Has your dog been previously diagnosed with an iliopsoas strain and it keeps recurring? Was the strain in the muscle or tendon? You and your medical team need to know the exact location if your canine athlete is going to have the best response to treatment and return to sport. Based on the data in human athletes, this information is critical, as is the type of treatments used.

In this webinar, we dig deep into iliopsoas strains. We will cover everything from the performance-related issues being noted in training and competition, physical exam findings, anatomy, diagnostics, treatment options, and cause of injury to prevention techniques and maintenance (including supplements, home modalities, iliopsoas and core exercises, conditioning activities, etc.).

Whether you train and compete in performance dog sports, or you are a veterinarian or rehab specialist that works with performance dogs, you need to tune in. It’s all about education, awareness, early identification, and prevention.
