Acetabular labral tears can be an uncomfortable pathology to manage; especially if you begin to restrict your mobility to reduce discomfort. Labral tears can develop into chronic hip pain if misdiagnosed, and a skilled physiotherapist may be just what you need to give you some clarity. Physiotherapy treatment for acetabular labral tears is a proven form of conservative treatment that can provide long-term improvements in flexibility, strength, posture and more. However, this is on the basis that the tear is not causing long-term secondary issues and you can manage to do most of all your activities and daily tasks. Through physical therapies focused on targeted exercises, manual therapy techniques and personalised care plans developed with you in mind – you can expect more clarity and an improvement in your quality of life following an injury like this. Nevertheless, when conservative management such as physiotherapy fails to improve your symptoms and function, an experienced physiotherapy group will be quick to notice the lack of improvement and direct you for further scan and surgical management.
