Hip Injuries in Gymnastics: A Complete Guide The SHIFT Show

- Sports
If you've ever had questions about hip pain or hip injuries in gymnastics, then this week's podcast is for you.
Hip pain is extremely common in gymnasts. Despite the research saying that only 3.1-5.7% of all injuries in gymnastics occur in the hip, the reality is that it is much more common. Injuries like hamstring growth plate inflammation (ischial apophysitis), hip flexor strains, and labral tears can plague gymnasts for years.
Sometimes these injuries reoccur and significantly hinder a gymnast's ability to train or compete. They can get so bad they require surgery to fix. Worst of all, these injuries may be so persistent that it causes a gymnast to quit gymnastics altogether for quality of life and long-term health reasons.
In this episode, we break down everything you need to know about common hip injuries including:
Contributing factors to hip pain and injuries
Basic anatomy of the hip
Specific injuries and how to best evaluate, treat and understand from a movement category
Accurate diagnosis and treatment plans
Timelines for injuries
How to safely get back to gymnastics after a hip injury
What can be done to reduce the risk of injuries in gymnastics
And…
What to do if someone isn't getting better
