Best Practice Case Studies-Hip Stress Fracture

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Brett DeGoyer, a primary care sports medicine specialist, demonstrates manual treatments for hip issues, focusing on elementary techniques to aid patients in various settings. He emphasizes clear communication and patient comfort throughout the treatment process. The demonstration outlines techniques for the anterior hip capsule using oscillatory and muscle energy methods, aiming to relax surrounding muscles and enhance lymphatic and neural circulation to alleviate pain. Key actions include flexing the knee to 90 degrees, applying hand pressure, facilitating oscillatory and adduction motions, and using muscle contractions against resistance to relax tissues. Specific attention is given to the iliopsoas, rectus femoris, and internal/external rotators, using a supine position for larger patients to leverage gravity effectively. Important precautions include recognizing contraindications like recent surgeries or fractures.
