Hip Impingement

This is a relatively new diagnosis for hip pain that we (as a medical community) have only known about for the last 20 or so years, since MRI scans started being able to pick up cartilage injuries, as well as CT and Xrays, that can be used to identify the shape of hip joints to see if they are likely to impinge. It’s great for us therapists because our understanding of why young adults get hip pain has sky rocketed, meaning that we can be so much more effective in our treatment and rehab.
