Rehabilitation of Athlete’s Hip

After an accurate diagnosis is attained, the next step is to set up the care plan for the patient. This step should be a strategic and premeditated process in which the athlete’s body and muscle fiber type should be considered. Activating the local and global muscles in and around the hip systematically will give the athlete much-needed strength and injury protection. Gaining an understanding of the phases of care and how to progress the athlete through each phase in order to create mobility and/or stability are important concepts that are reviewed and discussed.
