The Clinical Edge Senior Physio Education & Presentation team and I sat down to answer Clinical Edge member questions, and we wanted to share this one with you, so you can benefit from it too. In this Q&A, we discussed:

Hip joint pain and the acetabular labrum

Can we identify when the labrum is responsible for hip or groin pain?
What tests are important to perform in patients with hip or groin pain?
If deep structures such as the hip joint are painful or injured, does this mean more superficial structures such as the acetabular labrum are also pain generators?

Strength assessment & screening of athletes

What strength screening tests can you perform in athletes with large demands such as motorcross?
Which areas do you need to assess?
What are simple and more complex ways to assess strength in different regions of the body?
What are important considerations when designing a S&C program for a motocross athlete?
Making sense of pain

How can you make sense of pain? How can you describe pain to your patients in a way that makes sense, and doesn't tell them "it's all in your head"? Find out how to improve your confidence with acute and persistent pain in the upcoming "Making sense of pain" module.
