Hip & Groin

 

Femeroacetabular Impingement

This is a condition where the bones of the hip are abnormally shaped. Because the bones don’t fit together perfectly there can be some friction between the structures of the hip. This can lead to pain, discomfort, and limitation of movement. Physiotherapy can be helpful in maximising movement around the hip, strengthening the hip musculature and providing advice on suitable sporting activities.

Sporting Groin

Groin pain resulting from a sports injury is a common condition. Sports involving kicking and quick changes of direction such as GAA and soccer carry the biggest risk for groin injuries. Pain can come on suddenly with a kick, or more gradually, where the player notices a reduction in speed and kicking distance. A number of structures can be involved in groin pain including the adductor, hip flexor or abdominal muscles, the inguinal ligament and the pubic symphysis. Correct diagnosis and management is vital to ensure speedy return to play.
