Video Transcription

Video Summary

Brett DeGoyer, a primary care sports medicine specialist, discusses manual treatment for hip osteoarthritis, emphasizing the need to consider patient age, frailty, and bone density. He demonstrates three methods for osteopathic manipulative treatment focusing on the hip joint capsule. Techniques include myofascial treatment using traction, compression while flexing the hip and knee, and direct treatment over the hip joint using hands to apply compression and induce movement. DeGoyer stresses patient education, consent, and awareness of patient comfort, especially when treating sensitive areas. These treatments aim to improve joint mobility and comfort.
