If you don’t stretch, strengthen and massage your body, it won’t function well-duh! The fact that muscles matter shouldn’t surprise anyone. In fact, the feeling of “impingement” is often just the muscles themselves and not the joint. The summary is this: muscles that are too tight, too weak, or full of knots and trigger points can cause a joint to be out of position and cause impingement. ![]() This video + animation explain the muscular theory of hip impingement: Muscle activation (or lack thereof) and motor control.The muscular reasons for FAI fall into three categories, and it is possible to have problems in any (or all) of these categories: The bones matter, of course, but they are not the only determinant of hip joint health and mobility. The summary is this: research (and experience) shows the bone shapes are NOT the only reason hips hurt or are limited in motion. ![]() If you have “bad bones,” the hips may still have the potential for incredible range of motion… if you learn how to train properly. The hips also become limited because of tendons, ligaments, muscles, and more. Most people think the bones account for 90% of a person’s mobility potential, but this is false. So why doesn’t everyone have “incredible range of motion”? Ball and socket joints can have incredible range of motion… even if they aren’t perfectly smooth and spherical. I still have “bad bones.” But even though my bones are poorly shaped, they are, after all, ball and socket joints. What gives is… I learned how to optimize everything else (my muscles, movement, and lifestyle). In 2011 I had lots of hip pain and movement problems… but now I no longer do. ![]() Mixed Impingement-when a person has a mix of these types of bone shapes.īut what if you have “bad bone shapes” and NO pain? Actually, this is more common than you might expect.Pincer impingement-occurs when the rim of the socket, or acetabulum, has extra bone which also causes the head of the femur to not fit well into the socket.Cam impingement-occurs when the head of the femur is too thick or has bumps and cannot fit well into the socket.There are three types of bone “deformities” in hip impingement: It turns out, while bone problems are a common cause, there is an additional reason for hip impingement.
