Hip Impingement

Hip impingement, also known as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), is a condition where there is abnormal contact between the bones in the hip joint, leading to pain and limited range of motion. It can result from structural abnormalities in the hip joint, such as an improperly shaped hip socket or femoral head.

Therapy plays a significant role in managing hip impingement. Therapists design personalized programs to reduce pain, improve hip joint mobility, and strengthen the muscles around the hip. These exercises help alleviate discomfort, enhance overall hip function, and promote better hip mechanics. Early initiation of therapy is essential for individuals with hip impingement, as it can lead to long-term relief, improved mobility, and a better ability to engage in daily activities with reduced pain and enhanced function.

Muscle Spasm

Muscle spasms in the hip are painful and involuntary contractions of the muscles around the hip joint. They can result from various factors, including muscle overuse, strain, or underlying medical conditions.

Rehabilitation is crucial in managing muscle spasms in the hip. Therapists develop personalized programs to alleviate pain, improve hip joint mobility, and strengthen the muscles around the hip. These exercises help relax and release tense muscles, reduce discomfort, and enhance overall hip function. Early initiation of therapy is essential for individuals with hip muscle spasms, as it can lead to quicker relief, reduced pain, and improved mobility, enabling a faster return to daily activities with reduced symptoms.

Chronic Hip Pain

Chronic hip pain is persistent discomfort in the hip joint that lasts for an extended period, typically more than 12 weeks. It can result from various underlying causes, including osteoarthritis, hip labral tears, or overuse injuries.

Therapy is a critical component in managing chronic hip pain. Therapists create personalized programs to reduce pain, improve hip joint mobility, and strengthen the muscles around the hip. These exercises help alleviate discomfort, enhance overall hip function, and improve the individual's quality of life. Early initiation of rehab is essential for individuals with chronic hip pain, as it can lead to long-term relief, increased mobility, and a better ability to engage in daily activities with reduced pain and improved function.

Things to Keep in Mind

We understand that not everyone reading this article will work with Array Strength, but it is still our intention that you succeed wherever you go.

A couple of things to keep in mind while searching for injury care...

• Not all injury care is created equal. Be specific about where you do rehab. It will be worth it in the long run.
• You should feel good following your sessions, not worse. Your therapist should understand where you are in the healing process and know what you can and can't handle.
• One-on-one care is powerful. Working with a therapist or a skilled assistant, who is with you during your full session, helps facilitate success.
