Piriformis Syndrome
Deep buttock pain that can travel down the leg, worse with sitting. How it differs from sciatica, and what relieves it.
Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI)
Hip impingement is common on scans and often painless. What separates FAI morphology from FAI syndrome, and why surgery is rarely the first step.
Gluteal Tendinopathy
Pain on the outside of the hip, worse on stairs and lying on that side. Why it is usually the gluteal tendons rather than bursitis, and what helps.
Hip Flexor Tendinopathy
Iliopsoas tendinopathy causes deep front-of-hip pain with running, kicking and stairs. Why it builds slowly, and why resting it keeps bringing it back.
Hip Flexor Strain
A hip flexor strain usually arrives in one moment during sprinting or kicking. Grades, recovery times, and why pain-free is not the same as ready.
Osteitis Pubis
Osteitis pubis causes central groin and pubic pain in running and kicking athletes. Why rest alone keeps failing, and what rehabilitation has to rebuild.
Hip Labral Tear
A labral tear on a scan does not mean surgery, and plenty of people have one with no pain at all. What actually decides how much it matters.
