🧠 Bring your challenging cases to the table. Hip care doesn’t always have a clear-cut answer. Case discussion can offer fresh perspectives and help sharpen clinical reasoning. 💬 🎓 Hip Academy Meeting 📅 5 November 💻 Member Case Sharing 🔗 dralisongrimaldi.com/hip-aca…

🔙 Friday Flashback: Getting to the bottom of buttock pain Buttock pain can have many possible sources, making symptom patterns an important part of clinical reasoning. 🔎 What clues can help distinguish soft tissue-related buttock pain from other sources? dralisongrimaldi.com/blog/ge…

🦴 Acetabular dysplasia is an important consideration when assessing hip pain. It can influence how the hip handles load and stability, and may be relevant to joint, muscle and tendon presentations. 🧠 Recognising dysplasia is important for clinicians! dralisongrimaldi.com/blog/ac…

🦴 World Osteoporosis Day For physios, reducing fracture risk isn’t just about bone density. Weightbearing exercise can help address low bone density and hip abductor strength, while weightbearing balance training targets an important contributor to falls and fracture risk.

🌸 World Menopause Day Menopause can affect the musculoskeletal system, yet it’s often overlooked in physiotherapy assessment. For HCPs, asking about menopausal status can provide valuable context when assessing women over 40. 🧠 Do you routinely ask about menopause?

#FactFriday Reduced (internal) tibial torsion may contribute to anterior hip overload/instability. Toes forward places the hip in relative ER, increasing anterior load—especially with femoral anteversion. Consider effects of lower limb malrotation on hip loading.

🧠 Imaging can show what’s there — but can it tell you what’s causing the pain? Pathological MRI findings are common, even in people without pain. Imaging should therefore be interpreted alongside the patient’s presentation and clinical findings. 🔎 dralisongrimaldi.com/blog/la…

😴 For patients struggling with lateral hip, proximal hamstring or coccyx pain, mattress toppers like the Body Huggar may provide pressure-relieving support and help distribute weight more evenly. dr-alison-grimaldi.myhealthp…

🔙 Friday Flashback: Are you overlooking gait training in GT/GTPS rehab? Strengthening is a cornerstone of management, but how patients load their hip during everyday activities, including walking, may also matter. 🤔 📚 Explore the evidence: dralisongrimaldi.com/blog/ho…

🧠 Lateral hip pain is often assumed to be trochanteric bursitis. But what does evidence say about the soft tissue pathologies most commonly associated with GTPS? 🔎 Explore potential sources of local nociception + what this means for clinical reasoning. dralisongrimaldi.com/blog/la…

🧘‍♀️ Helping patients with hip pain stay active isn’t always about saying “stop” or “avoid.” For yoga, understanding which poses may need modification — and why — can help you provide more individualised advice. 📥 FREE resource for clinicians: mailchi.mp/dralisongrimaldi/…

🧠 Great hip care isn’t always about having the perfect answer. It’s about knowing how to work through uncertainty. 🎓 Hip Academy supports physios with practical education, clinical resources, research insights and expert guidance from Dr Alison Grimaldi dralisongrimaldi.com/hip-aca…

#FactFriday Increased tibial external torsion may contribute to earlier hip impingement. Toes forward places the hip in relative IR, predisposing to impingement—worse with femoral retroversion. Lower limb malrotation can significantly affect hip load and pain.

💉 Could local anaesthetic affect cartilage health? Research suggests some local anaesthetics may harm chondrocytes, particularly at higher concentrations or with greater exposure. Corticosteroids may further amplify these effects. Guest blog: dralisongrimaldi.com/blog/in…
