Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) and Physiotherapy

Overview

Why do we need to talk about femoroacetabular impingement (FAI)?

The vast majority of high-ranking videos on the internet regarding FAI or hip impingement score poorly on a basic quality checklist. This means when our patients come and see us they may feel like they have a good understanding of their injury, however, chances are they have not been exposed to quality information.

In this online course hosted by the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA) Orthopaedic Division, we will take an evidence-based approach to FAI including operative and non-operative management with a focus on futuristic and collaborative approaches to care.
