Best Practice Case Studies-Case 134 Asset 8 Hip Pathology

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Brent DeGoyer explains evaluating hip pain in athletes by checking the joints above and below, including the low back, pelvis, knee, and hip. He demonstrates manual medicine for the anterior hip capsule using myofascial release and muscle energy techniques, emphasizing patient consent and chaperones for sensitive areas. The treatment involves flexing, abducting, and rotating the hip and knee, then applying gentle patient resistance in repeated short cycles to improve mobility. He recommends retesting afterward, along with regular rehabilitation exercises and flexibility work. “Release” means the tissues soften and move toward balance and homeostasis.
