Hip Labral Tear Physiotherapy in Indirapuram

Why labral tears happen

Most labral tears aren't caused by one injury. They build over time from repetitive movements that pinch the labrum, especially when bone shape is slightly abnormal (femoroacetabular impingement). Sports with deep squatting, twisting and kicking, like football, cricket, dance and martial arts, raise the risk. Sometimes a fall or a sudden twist causes a tear.

Symptoms

Deep pain in the front of the hip or groin, clicking, catching or locking, and pain with sitting for long periods, getting in and out of the car, or deep squats. People often cup the side of the hip with the hand in a C-shape when describing the location.

Imaging shows labral tears in many pain-free people, so we correlate symptoms and examination with any scan.

Treatment

We reduce provocative positions, particularly deep flexion combined with inward rotation. Strength work targets the hip abductors, rotators and trunk, which improves control of the ball in the socket. Movement patterns in sport, like how you land or change direction, are retrained.

Most people improve over three months of consistent work. If symptoms persist and imaging supports it, hip arthroscopy may be considered. Rehab after arthroscopy typically runs for four to six months.
