Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI): Physiotherapy Management & Relief
Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) occurs when abnormal contact between the femur and acetabulum causes joint damage and hip pain, particularly during activity. Common in young and active individuals, FAI can lead to labral tears and early osteoarthritis if not addressed.
Common Symptoms of FAI:
Deep groin or hip pain
Stiffness and reduced hip range
Discomfort with prolonged sitting or sports
How Physiotherapy Helps FAI:
At Brighton Physiotherapy Clinic, we use:
Targeted manual therapy to restore joint mechanics
Strengthening of hip stabilisers
Movement retraining to reduce impingement
Tailored exercise programs to maintain mobility
