Ann Duffy, PT MA is a designated advanced hip clinician with the Hospital for Special Surgery. The Duffy & Bracken Physical Therapists have been trained in all of the latest surgical and rehab techniques in order to best treat hip conditions.
The muscles, ligaments, tendons, bursae and labrum that surround the hip that are susceptible to over-use injury, inflammatory change and tears.
Besides muscles and ligaments, there are a number of tendons and bursae that surround the hip that are susceptible to over-use injury and inflammatory change.
Pain and injury from the hip can be felt commonly in the groin, outer and back of thigh region, knee and buttock. Symptoms may also radiate down the lower leg to the ankle.
Because the Lumbar spine can also give signs and symptoms in the same body regions as the hip, a careful assessment and history is needed to differentiate the cause.
