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

Don’t let hip pain limit your lifestyle. Book an assessment to see how we can help with FAI.
