Are you ready to get an in-depth look into the advanced athlete's hip? In this episode, we have double the expertise as we are joined by physical therapists, John Snyder and Matt Kelly! John is a certified orthopedic specialist and strength and conditioning specialist who specializes in the treatment of athletes in hip pain. Matt has his Masters in Physiotherapy from Dalhousie University, his Bachelors of Science and Kinesiology from University of Prince Edward Island, and his second Masters at McGill University under Dr. David Pearsall.

Today, we'll be discussing the hockey player's hip to dive into adductors and abductor musculature and how we treat them. We'll take a biomechanical standpoint to look further into the hockey stride, the role of the hips, and considerations for the therapy level. Then, we go over the question of return to play: What buckets need to be checked? What would they recommend to get athletes back on the ice? As we go, we'll talk about the benefits of early off season, the rising occurrences of FAI, pelvic position and pelvic rotation, and even more. Join in for an informed conversation all about hips, hockey, and high performance!
