Is Your Clicking Hip Trying to Tell You Something?
Ever wondered why your hip suddenly clicks, catches, or causes you discomfort during everyday activities or sports? You might be dealing with something called a Hip Labral Tear—a condition that's more common than you'd think.
What is a Hip Labral Tear?
Your hip joint relies on a ring of cartilage called the labrum to help stabilise and cushion the joint. When this cartilage gets torn, it can cause sharp or dull pain, stiffness, and even a sensation of your hip "locking" or "catching".
Spotting the Symptoms
Common symptoms include:
- Clicking or catching sensation
- Sharp or dull hip pain
- Joint stiffness
Common Causes
But what causes this tear? Often, it's due to repetitive activities like sports or dance, or from an injury, but sometimes it's just wear and tear from daily life.
Who's at Risk?
Those at higher risk typically include:
- Athletes
- Dancers
- People with active lifestyles
- Individuals with previous hip injuries
How Physiotherapy Can Help?
The good news is that physiotherapy can usually effectively manage this condition, easing pain and restoring movement. In cases, that don;t resolve with non-operative treatment, surgery may be recommended.
