APEX Hip Enhancing Clinical Expertise and Proficiency (November 2023)-Rehabilitation for Hip and Pelvic Pain

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Kristen Taylor, a physical therapist, discusses rehabilitation for hip and pelvic pain, emphasizing the complexity of diagnosis due to overlapping symptoms involving musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, vascular, or visceral issues. Accurate differential diagnosis is crucial to determine appropriate physical therapy or referral needs. Rehab should address intra- and extra-articular dysfunctions, focusing on muscle inhibition, decreased range of motion, and lumbopelvic instability. Treatment involves hands-on soft tissue techniques, dynamic movement progression, individualized exercises, and functional training specific to patient goals and activities. Rehabilitation is non-linear, requiring careful clinical decision-making and sometimes multidisciplinary care to restore stability, mobility, and optimal function.
