Abraham Katzal Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Hi , The last three years i have been feeling a light annoying dim pinch in my right hip front side. i thought it was just some inflammation that would go away. but it didn't , actually got worse and more persistent to the point i could barely walk .can't sit ...any hip flexion creates pain. long story short....got an MRI that confirms FAI = femoral acetabulom impingement cam type. aka hip impingement . Any way ...does any one have any experience with this issue ? Has any one been through this ? personal experience ? what would be a proper protocol for recovery ? i have been doing : Hip extension, hip ABD . hip ADD, variety of exercises, seen some improvement but not much. about a 8 months now. thinking of surgery...don't know... Any tips or advise will be appreciated. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everett Carroll Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Hey Abraham, You should see a physio about this issue and get a recovery protocol from them. This is not something we can provide help with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Alessandro, I have been doing GB for the last three months or so and have found it to be a fantastic motivator and a great help in building strength and mobility. I too have FAI (along with an associated partial labrum tear in the right hip), though it is relatively mild and I am hoping to avoid surgery as it doesn't bother me much during day-to-day activities. I worked with a PT for much of last year to build the hip and core strength I was told would help prevent hip pain and get me back to doing the higher intensity physical exercise I'd had to avoid for some time. Though I'm no longer seeing the PT, I am following a regime of hip-focused exercises that he suggested at home and have been able to slowly return to activities such as boxing and spinning. With this in mind, as I continue through the GB curriculum, are there any particular exercises that you might suggest I avoid because they might aggravate my hip? Thanks so much for your help. -Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Mainente Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 It depends on the degree of FAI. i cannot say more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
