💡 Muscle deficits in FAI are multifactorial, involving strength loss, maladaptive coordination, and kinetic chain disruptions. Targeted rehabilitation should integrate hip-centric and core stabilization exercises, but longitudinal studies are needed to validate therapeutic efficacy.

👉🏻 This is from the new paper "Hip muscle changes in femoroacetabular impingement: a systematic review and meta-analysis" by Zhang et al 2025

💡 When combined with pain-provoking exercise, MWM produced hypoalgesic effects in people with lateral elbow tendinopathy. Effects were largest when measured locally but also present at remote site, suggesting that both reduced stimulation of peripheral nociceptors and activation of descending pain inhibitory pathways may underpin its efficacy.

👉🏻 This is from the new paper "Mobilisation-with-movement induces analgesia during exercise but exercise alone is not analgesic in people with lateral elbow tendinopathy: An assessor blinded, randomised crossover trial" by Coombes et al 2025
