ABOUT THIS VIDEO
Take a deep dive into the evidence surrounding hip injections and femoroacetabular impingement surgery. Surgeons believe hip impingement is 90% accurate for identifying hip pathology. The evidence they use is flat out wrong. Hip injections are also a bad predictor for outcomes of hip surgery for FAI.

You are awesome! I suffer from extensive hip pain that simply came out of nowhere. It is going on 3 years now. I have been to Physical therapy and an Orthopedic doctor who after giving me "the shot", suggested that I might need hip surgery. That's a no for me. So I simply stretch and try to strengthen my muscles. I am so happy that I found your channel. It has been so helpful.

From this video and all of your videos, I have learnt that 'the one way and only way to wake up dead muscles is to exercise them'. Through ATM and 'Strength at every Length' I am progressing in my shoulder rehab journey only with the help of your videos. I am planning to join your diy shoulder fix program as soon as I join my job back because I had to quit my job due to shoulder pain.
Looking forward to get connected to you. Thanks a ton Matt...you are doing a wonderful job by educating people about pain management...!!! Love from India.

That's amazing. I love to hear how specialist determine how to help us, injured or sick people. We are at your mercy and expertise. I learned that this injection could determine if we have bad bone shape etc. God bless doctors!!

[DrcReeves]

This is what I was thinking...am so glad I happened on this. Thanks for making the video.

I learned again from you ATM...I bought 2 of these shirts. Thanks Matt.

Oh Gosh Matt, I can't even begin to tell you how Grateful I am for you taking this apart for us!!! I deal with hip pain, and an undiagnosed injury, and I was just wondering whether I should go back to get it x-rayed! Years ago the orthopedic surgeon did recommend the arthrographic study, I didn't do it because I was chicken (😁 afraid of the pain). I will stick with ATM!!!! You are so Great, THANK YOU

Labral tear/hip dysplasia here.. they just want to do a PAO and no pain help. Getting a diagnostic injection soon hope it helps

Haven’t fallen from collapsed hips both were diagnosed with Avascular Necrosis). All from being on 60mgs of prednisone for over two years. It’s been 10 years since my diagnosis. I did hip injections over a year ago and NO RELIEF. I’ve been strengthening and have made sooo much progress and walk up two flights of stairs daily, do my exercises and have no signs of a limp ( like I did when I was initially diagnosed). None of what my body had gone through - in my opinion was EVER taken into consideration. I had a mild stroke at 35 that may have been a cause of the nephrotic issue that no one could tell me how it occurred. I just got sick one day and all this happened ( I still don’t know how because the doctors don’t know either). So medications that were prescribed were treating symptoms! I did physical therapy and they were only listening to my doctors diagnosis.
I left physical therapy and began listening to MY body because I was told I needed both hips replaced! I work, a full-time job and have been in my profession for over 18 years, move and no longer think that resting for ailments such as mine are needed! I move, and make sure every muscle know I need them!
Thanks Matt!!!

Matt - you are amazing and a savior to all of us who are dealing with FAI! Can you please recommend anyone in NJ that is aligned with your approach/philosophy to physical therapy and movement?

[zotory]

Do you have any videos about bursitis in the hip?

[stephaniepoolelewis]

Love the exercises! They hurt and they’re a massive challenge but are making me stronger. My hip pain is not relieved, but, I AM stronger and more stable. Interesting-my hip surgeon actually said that because the injection in my hip did not provide any relief that it was an indication that my pain was indeed due to the bone spurs, resulting from degenerative joint disease, as opposed to soft tissue driven pain, which would have been more likely to be alleviated by the injection.

I have a question; Once I had pain in my knee for a 2 years, which later was solved by massage and stretching of the muscles around the knee so the knee cap wouldn’t slide into the sides causing pain like a knife stabbing. I wonder if the hip can work in a similar way? I have lately have really bad pain in the hip and it seems to be a conencubetween my psoas and medius and/or puriformis. Can the muscles around the joint pull it into the wrong position (not only the tight capsule or how it was described) causing the same effect as KAM/pincer?

Thank for your charming and informative presentation.

LOVE your channel btw.. been using your move it or lose it to help with my pain

I am not a doctor, but I am wise enough to know that my hip ex rays are not ideal. I have met with QC Kinetix. My orthopedic doctor ordered a hip injection. He stated that I clearly needed a hip replacement along with medically assisted weight loss. I have had the hip injection. My hip feels great, but I now wonder how the hip bone is connected to the knee bone....

[kristianharley]

Interesting but i have a question please and also some counterintuitive points. I've been diagnosed with FAI cam impingement and on the MRI shows that the Cam has clearly damaged/frayed my labrum. I have sharp stabbing pain in my groin. The past 5 months I've tried strengthening exercise for hip flexors/glutes and core, i also have full ROM.. i am very strong in these areas.. but i still have stabbing pain. They offered me the injection test then surgery if it was positive. So QUESTION TIME.. You are saying surgery will unlikely help. But if abnormal bone growth is visibly catching on my labrum causing inflammation surely this would be the most likely culprit for pain. Especially since i am strong in the hips with full range of motion. If there is a mechanical issue causing damage to cartilage due to abnormal growth then by removing this growth through surgery you are eliminating the problem are you not? If someone did have lack of ROM with FAI this could also be to the Psoas/hip flexors going into spasm to protect the labrum from further damage. Once the growth is removed and the cartilage smoothened ROM would be restored due to the flexors coming out of spasm. So please don't give such a false hope with surgery because a lot of people actually need surgery to fix growth abnormalities. No amount of physical therapy would fix this if the growth damaging the labrum was the source of pain. Long term the mechanical issue would remain no matter how strong you have become in the hips besides PT would also further impinge the labrum with certain movements whilst your trying to restore ROM.

Do you have any videos on Avascular Necrosis? Does it always require surgery?

[glitchedsound]

So you are saying. Just because the Faber test might bring out pain. It doesn’t 100 percent mean that there is damage?
