ABOUT THIS VIDEO
Matt introduces alternative ideas about hip pain and the relatively new medical diagnosis of femoroacetabular impingement (sometimes called femoral acetabular impingement or just FAI).
He discusses some ideas for exercises for femoroacetabular impingement as well as alternatives to surgery for FAI.
This is the first video in a long line of videos on femoroacetabular impingement. For more updated information, please see the helpful links for research on FAI below.

NOTE TO COMMENTERS
Please, before engaging in angry verbal attacks, read the articles below and watch the rest of the FAI playlist for detailed research on femoral acetabular impingement. Recent research has very clearly called the conventional understanding of femoroal acetabular impingement into question.
While doctors currently believe that bones are the cause of the hip movement problems, there is no strong evidence this is true.

Research refuting basic ideas on femoroal acetabular impingement
1) FAI bone shapes are common as anatomic variants and are not indicative of a disease.
•Femoroacetabular Impingement: Prevalent and Often Asymptomatic in Older Men: The Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Study. Link: [ Ссылка ]
•The prevalence of cam-type deformity of the hip joint: a survey of 4151 subjects of the Copenhagen Osteoarthritis study. Link: [ Ссылка ]
•Radiological Assessment of Femoroacetabular Impingement Morphology Using Computed Tomography in an Asymptomatic Young Population: [ Ссылка ]
2) Cam and pincer impingement do not lead to arthritis.
•Predictors of progression of osteoarthritis in femoroacetabular impingement: a radiological study with a minimum of ten years follow-up. Link: [ Ссылка ]
•Pincer deformity does not lead to osteoarthritis of the hip whereas acetabular dysplasia does: acetabular coverage and development of osteoarthritis in a nationwide prospective cohort study. Link: [ Ссылка ]
3) Labral tears and other joint pathologies exist in high numbers in individuals without any pain or hip symptoms.
•Identification of acetabularlabral pathological changes in asymptomatic volunteers using optimized, noncontrast 1.5-T magnetic resonance imaging. Link: [ Ссылка ]
•The prevalence of acetabularlabral tears and associated pathology in a young asymptomatic population. Link: [ Ссылка ]
4) Surgery for FAI often fails to meet patient expectations.
