Understanding Acetabular Labral Tear
A tear in the hip labrum may result in deep joint pain, clicking, or a feeling of instability. At Reliefic Physiotherapy, evaluation focuses on hip stability, movement patterns, and symptom triggers. Treatment involves strengthening the surrounding musculature, improving control, and using manual therapy techniques to reduce stress on the joint.
Our Specialized Approach
- Hip Mobility & Labral AssessmentEvaluate hip range of motion, joint stability, and apply clinical tests such as FADIR and FABER to identify labral involvement.
- Pain & Joint Irritation ManagementUse manual therapy, activity modification, and gentle modalities to reduce hip joint pain and inflammation around the torn labrum.
- Hip Capsule & Flexibility WorkAddress hip capsular tightness and mobility restrictions to reduce abnormal joint forces contributing to labral stress.
- Deep Hip Stabilizer StrengtheningTarget deep hip rotators, glutes, and core muscles to improve femoral head centration and protect the labrum during movement.
- Neuromuscular & Movement RetrainingCorrect faulty hip movement mechanics during functional tasks to reduce labral impingement and joint stress.
- Progressive Return to ActivityGradually reintroduce high-demand activities and sport-specific movements while monitoring for pain and symptom recurrence.
