Physical Therapy for Hip Impingement (How to Find a Good PT)
If you have femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and you've ever been frustrated with your physical therapy or chiropractic experience...
...welcome to the club! 😅
In 2011 I began looking for non-surgical ways of treating the cam impingement, labral tear, and bone cysts in my right hip.
This led me on a long and expensive journey.
In fact, I checked my Quickbooks (to see how much I’ve spent on fixing my body) and the number actually surprised me.
In total, I've spent $25,837.29 out of pocket (which doesn't include what my insurance covered.)
👉 These costs included:
- regular physical therapy
- chiropractic
- massage
- ...and various other treatments
The sad part is, out of all that therapy and all of those treatments, I felt only about 5% helped.
The rest of the time I typically felt no benefit at all.
In fact, in all those 5 years, I only came across 2 practitioners who I think are really good at what they do.
Investing $25,837.29 and spending 2-3+ hours per day (or sometimes a lot more) researching healing modalities taught me some valuable lessons and led me to one particularly great healer - Phil Petachenko in Encinitas, CA.
