Groin pain is very common in athletes as well as people above 40. Femoral acetabular impingment (FAI) is a very complex condition and should be seen by an expert clinician. FAI often leads to labral tear. We work closely with expert orthopedic surgeons who have specialized in this area and provide you with the best care. If you have unexplained deep groin or hip pain which has not resolved in months or years, please don't wait. Call us.
Unlike other clinics who rely of modalities RS clinicians use an evidence based approach which consists of taping, manual mobilizations, injury specific active release techniques, strengthening exercises and minimal use of modalities. Return to sports is an active component of our interventions.
Below are some conditions which we can treat:
- Golfer's elbow
- Nerve entrapments
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
