Increasing lumbar range of motion in patients with symptomatic FAI (Femoral Acetabular Impingement), pain in the front and middle of the hip, has been shown to be a necessary part of conservative treatment of this condition. In a study done by Fader R.R. et al The Bone and Joint Journal 2018 creating and maintaining lumbar and pelvic motion can prevent patients with asymptomatic FAI from becoming symptomatic (painful). Some people have developed boney changes that leads to FAI but don’t have symptoms yet. These boney changes called CAM deformities are seen more often in an athletic population. Typical complaints are hip flexor tightness or pinching in the front of the hip. Mobility of the low back and pelvis can be something athletes can do to prevent FAI from occurring. Having your low back and pelvis evaluated for asymmetrical movement along with hip joint restriction specifically the capsule will help prevent hip, hamstring, groin, knee and ankle injuries from occurring. See previous post on hip restrictions specifically CAM changes occurring on the hip

Studies performed on patients with FAI (Femoral Acetabular Impingement); pain in the front and inside of the hip, is the result of restriction or lack of motion occurring at the lumbopelvic area and the hip capsule tightness!! Treatment of this condition should be focused on restoring normal lumbopelvic movement, checking for hip capsule tightness, restriction and releasing it. Once that has been established then adding stabilization exercise to the pelvis and hip are necessary to maintain. Bagwell J.J and Powers C.M. Clinical Biomechanics 2019

Kraeutler MJ et al in The Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery, Vol 35, No 5 (May), 2019: pp 1396-1402 wrote a paper where they showed patients with hamstring injuries also had FAI (Femoral Acetabular Impingement) clinically and radiographically. One of the possible causes of FAI is pelvic mobility restrictions specifically anterior pelvic tilt. For those out there with hamstring injuries that are not responding or who are treating patients with these injuries adding mobility to the pelvis as well as releasing the possible restriction with in the hip joint itself is important. You must take the mechanical load off the hamstring in order for it to heal and add strength to the hamstring in the neutral pelvic position. Clinically this is a very common finding but if you don’t look for it you wont find it.•

The wonderful thing about musculoskeletal medicine is medicine has a better understanding of injuries and how they occur. A force or mechanism is applied to a joint ligament,muscle or tendon and if it exceeds its tolerance it fails. You then feel symptoms. If we accurately diagnose the injury, treatment is reverse engineering the force that caused it. In the case of Osgood Schlatter disease the growth center on the shin becomes disturbed because of the amount of force put on it by the patella tendon. When we look at it closer once you have diagnosed it if you palpate around it you will find it will be more tender on the bottom, top,inside or outside of where it attaches. This tells us where the force was greater and how to take the mechanical force of it that caused it. Injuries leave great clues we just have to look for them.

If you are feeling hip tightness from sitting it may not just be the muscles being tight. Here is a video showing a couple of tests you can do to determine if it is the joint causing the tightness or the muscles. Questions welcome!

Before you do an exercise ask yourself, “what muscle am I trying to work?” That’s what we do here and encourage our patients too as well. If you are trying to work the lower part of your glut, a short range will get the job done. In this specific kick back we are targeting the lower portion of the glut which is responsible for hip extension, without lumbar movement. Any questions please ask, and have a SPECTACULAR FRIDAY!! •

ABDOMINAL STABILIZATION
•
Purpose: find and turn on the correct abdominal muscles below the belly button to add stability to the spine
•
Common mistakes: recruiting or turning on the incorrect muscles, for example the muscles of respiration
•
Corrections: taking the really deep inhale and exhale to turn off recruited muscles, adding the ball to reinforce the kegel
