Phil Glasgow talks all things around the hip and treatment

Phil Glasgow is the head of sports medicine at the Sports Institute, Northern Ireland. A vastly experienced physiotherapist, he has worked at 3 Olympic Games, and has just returned from Rio. In this podcast, we discuss a case history of a football player with hip pain, from assessment to RTP. We look at the sensitivity vs. specificity of various tests, how to explain the symptoms to patients, and any co-existing pathologies there may be in the athlete. Finally, the discussion moves to treatment, the role of manual therapy, and exercises the patients can do to increase strength in the tissue.
