Ep 115: REVISITED: Helping hips to stop hurting, with Dr Travis Maak

When helping someone to manage their femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, knowing how and when to refer to a surgeon can feel like an uncertain decision.

In today's episode, Dr Travis Maak shares the orthopaedic surgeon's perspective on hip pain in athletes. Dr Maak is a strong advocate for multidisciplinary practice—he’s a big fan of physical therapists and surgeons working together.

We cover when to refer to an orthopaedic surgeon, what to do when hip treatments aren’t going to plan, and how different surgical techniques have implications for the decisions clinicians make about rehabilitation.
