Hip
A labral tear does not define your hip. Your strength does.
A hip labral injury may cause pain, clicking or restricted movement. We assess hip strength, mobility and load tolerance before developing a programme suited to your symptoms and activity goals.

Frequently asked questions
Does a hip labral tear always need surgery?
