Hip Pain Uncovered: Diagnosing, Treating, and Improving Mobility for Better Health

In this episode, Ben James and Jacob Steyn tackle the intricate challenges of diagnosing and treating hip pain. They emphasise the importance of understanding hip anatomy and incorporating psychosocial factors into treatment plans for better outcomes. Through various patient case studies, they highlight the necessity of thorough examinations and patient education to accurately address back pain linked to hip issues.

Key topics include the critical role of glute activation and conditioning in managing hip pain, and the interconnection between hip health and back health. The discussion also covers how limited hip mobility can affect activities like golf, and the benefits of hip mobilisation exercises for improving flexibility and joint health.

Action Items:

  1. Assess hip range of motion and identify activities that may aggravate the joint in patients with hip pain.
  2. Implement glute activation exercises before stretching tight hip flexors to improve hip range of motion.
  3. Educate patients on hip anatomy and the common areas where true hip joint pain is felt.
  4. Highlight the importance of glute strength and hip mobility for overall back health in future episodes.
