When I tore my Hip Labral I thought my football career was over, but The Movement Doctors exceeded every expectation. I wasn’t sure if I’d play again - but now I can honestly say I’m better than ever
Almost 16% of athletes who suffer a hip labral tear will experience a second tear within two years—but it doesn’t have to be this way.
Hip labral tear recovery standards are too low across the physical therapy and medical field - leading to high rates of reinjury for athletes and active adults. That’s why we set our standard far above the industry average.
