Hip and Groin Injuries

The osteopaths at our Principle Four Osteopathy Melbourne City CBD and Melbourne Docklands clinics are experienced in providing treatment for many hip and groin injuries.

Recently there has been an increased number of clients presenting to the clinic with femoroacetabular impingements.  Typically these clients will present with pain in the hip and groin area.  Whilst many people are often quite stiff through the hips, some of these presentations have also presented with labral tears etc that have required surgery.
