Acute and chronic groin pain is common in sports, however diagnosis can be challenging. A thorough understanding of pathology around the hip and groin and when pathology relates to symptoms, knowledge of potential red flags, along with patterns and symptoms associated with each diagnosis is vital in guiding your treatment of hip and groin pain.

In the first of two podcasts on hip and groin pain with Physiotherapist and Extended Scope Practitioner Benoy Mathew, we explore:

How you can use the patient history to help your diagnosis and treatment
Important questions you NEED to ask all of your hip and groin pain patients
Sources of hip and groin pain - intra and extra-articular
How you can identify referred pain from the lumbar spine and SIJ

When you should refer your patients for further investigations, medical assessment and surgical opinion

Differentiating hip impingement, labral pathology and hip dysplasia
When to request X-ray or MRI
