Are you experiencing pain with weight-bearing activities like walking, running, and everyday activities? Over time, underlying problems with the hip joint can cause a labral tear.
Overuse, traumatic injuries, abnormalities in the hip joints — whatever the reason, physical therapy for hip labral tears is vital to addressing the issue. Uncommon Physical Therapy can help.
Labral Tear Hip Joint Treatment / Hip Labral Tear Facts
Your hip is a ball and socket joint with a labrum between the femur and the acetabulum. The labrum helps to cushion and distribute the load within the joint. A hip labral tear injury can occur over time or from trauma. Labral tears that occur over time are usually present in middle-aged and older adults.
Trauma to the labral tear generally occurs in the younger population. This trauma usually occurs when the planting of the foot combines with an uncontrolled twisting motion at the hip joint, causing stress to the labrum, and causing a tear.

Patients at Uncommon Physical Therapy may experience all or some of the following symptoms:
