Welcome to Country Hills Physiotherapy, where we provide comprehensive care tailored to individuals dealing with hip impingement challenges in Calgary. Our focus is on understanding each person’s unique circumstances and offering a path to enhanced mobility and reduced discomfort.
Understanding Hip Impingement
When the ball and socket of the hip joint have abnormal contact, it results in hip impingement, also known as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). This condition leads to pain, stiffness, and restricted movement, often caused by developmental issues, overuse, or the presence of extra bone causing friction during hip movements.
Recognizing Hip Impingement Signs
Signs of hip impingement include:
- Ongoing or intermittent hip, groin, or outer thigh pain.
- Limited hip joint motion or stiffness.
- Discomfort while walking, climbing stairs, or bending.
Identifying these signs early can aid in seeking timely and suitable treatment to prevent the condition from worsening.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hip Impingement Treatment in Calgary
What Are the Consequences of Untreated Hip Impingement in the Long Term?
Failure to address femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) can result in escalating symptoms and lasting effects, such as chronic pain, reduced range of motion, and potential development of hip joint osteoarthritis. Continuous friction caused by impingement can harm cartilage and the labrum over time, leading to severe conditions that may necessitate more invasive treatments. Timely intervention can prevent these outcomes, preserving hip function and minimizing future risks.
Can Exercise Aggravate Hip Impingement Symptoms?
Certain exercises, particularly those involving repetitive hip flexion or high-impact activities, can worsen hip impingement symptoms. It is crucial to modify exercises to avoid movements that strain the hip joint further. Healthcare professionals can offer guidance on safe and beneficial exercises, along with a tailored physiotherapy regimen to strengthen muscles and enhance flexibility, potentially easing symptoms without exacerbating the condition.
How Does Body Weight Impact Hip Impingement?
Excessive body weight can intensify hip impingement symptoms by increasing stress on the hip joint during daily movements. Managing weight through a healthy diet and appropriate exercise can alleviate some of this stress, potentially reducing pain and enhancing mobility. Weight management is often included in a comprehensive treatment plan for hip impingement, alongside physiotherapy and lifestyle adjustments to promote overall joint health.
Is Hip Impingement Preventable?
Although not all instances of hip impingement can be prevented, particularly those due to anatomical variances, some measures can lower the risk. Maintaining hip muscle flexibility and strength, using correct techniques in sports and activities, and avoiding repetitive movements that strain the hip can all contribute to risk reduction. Country Hills Physiotherapy offers preventive strategies and support, including assessments of hip strength and mobility, to identify potential risks and implement measures to minimize them. This proactive approach is part of our dedication to not only treating hip impingement but also preventing its occurrence.
