Understanding the Vital Glutes is organized by Niel Asher Education.
The glutes are far more than power muscles. They play a central role in walking, pelvic stability, balance, single-leg control, load management, gait mechanics, posture, and efficient whole-body movement.
Understanding the Vital Glutes takes a movement-centred approach to glute function and dysfunction, helping practitioners understand how the glutes support real-world movement rather than simply viewing them as isolated strengthening targets.
Presented by Dr. Elizabeth Wagner, DPT, this course explores how the glutes interact with the pelvis, trunk, nervous system, and lower extremities during walking, balance, stabilization, and functional rehabilitation.
Description:
Across this 3-hour CE/CPD course, participants will explore gluteal anatomy, movement assessment, functional rehabilitation, gait mechanics, balance regulation, single-leg stability, compensation patterns, and progressive strengthening strategies.
Rather than focusing only on isolated glute exercises, the course helps practitioners understand how glute function contributes to pelvic control, gait efficiency, lower limb coordination, posture, and whole-body movement integration.
The course is designed to support practical clinical reasoning for rehabilitation and movement professionals who want to assess and strengthen glute function in ways that translate into real-world movement confidence and improved function.
Supported by professionally produced video tutorials, a fully illustrated workbook, companion course, lesson quizzes, final examination, certificate of completion, and lifetime access, this course provides a focused and practical learning pathway for understanding the vital role of the glutes.
