Abstract: The majority of athletic injuries of the hip and pelvis are caused by overuse. Most of these injuries will respond to adequate rehabilitative management, including the correction of intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors and controlling abusive force loads that may have contributed to injury. In addition to injury-specific rehabilitation, imbalances and abnormalities at each level of the kinetic chain also must be corrected to ensure optimal healing.
