Best Practice Case Studies-Case 134 Asset 2 Hip Pathology

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Brent DeGoyer, a Samaritan Health Care physician specializing in sports, neuromusculoskeletal, and family medicine, explains how he evaluates athletes with hip pain. He stresses assessing not only the hip but also the joints above and below, especially the low back and knee, to find contributing factors. If the problem is truly in the hip, he uses manual treatments such as muscle energy and deep tissue myofascial release to reduce tension, improve movement, and relieve pain. These techniques can help with mild osteoarthritis, femoroacetabular impingement, and hip flexor or abductor strains.
