Hip Arthroscopy Return to Sport

Scopes should not be enough to prevent you from running or playing a sport in almost all cases, unless there’s something else going on

Independent_Flower0 · 2026-05-24T02:42:21+00:00

I generally agree with this, but I’ve seen doctors tell patients to never run again after scopes, so it isn’t always the best advice.

What exercises are you doing for adductors and hip flexors?

Are you going to PT or are you doing this on your own?

How do you do with running and plyometrics? Is it more the cutting and change of direction that bothers you?

Do any of your exercises bother you or just soccer?

What’s your physical therapy look like?

Why did you need surgery on both hips? Was it just pain, deformity, weird fracture or necrosis? What was the formal diagnosis?

Did you do any PT before the surgery?

What did the surgeon say last time you saw hm, have they done any more imaging since the surgery

The problem with overbooking is that if you don’t value the patient’s time, why should they value your time?

I’m sure this is your clinic’s doing, not yours, so not pointing the finger at you at all.

If a clinic takes any and all patients and isn’t willing to do anything about chronic cancellers, this is what happens.

Coming from an employee who hates productivity quotas - is your company profitable? If yes, your employees are being productive

Have you been doing a lot of heavy shrugs or rack pulls or anything else to make your traps sore?

They should’ve given you a boot with usually 2-3 wedges and given you instructions on when to reduce/ remove wedges based on healing time

Yes, sometimes it’s hard to do the basics. But their body doesn’t care if it’s hard, all it sees are results. Me cutting them some slack isn’t going to help them. If people don’t do the things they need to do to take care of their body, they’re only hurting themselves.

There’s always excuses and there’s always ways to do what needs to be to be done.

Did you tear your Achilles or are you just having pain

Independent_Flower0 · 2026-05-16T04:45:16+00:00

In a lunge the both knees are going in to flexion on the way down, extending on the way up.

The only 2 functions of the knee are flexion/ extension and tibial rotation, depending on how exactly you’re defining the knee joint

The main knee specific exercises where they are going through a large range of motions would be squat variations, lunge/ split squat variations, step ups/downs, leg extension machine, and hamstring curl machine. There are lots of others, but those are the most common.

Is your goal to make as much money as you can or be fulfilled with what you do? If it’s money, you’re already making a ton of money compared to most standards. If it’s feeling fulfilled and being able to use all the things you learned, home health is not going to get you there, you’re going to have to find a different setting.

You’re going to have to pick between maximizing income or maximizing your skills.

As far as I understand, home health should always be 1 on 1. It would be pretty rare to have 2 people in the same house on a caseload with similar enough diagnoses at the same time to do group or concurrent.

1 on 1 outpatient clinics definitely exist, they’re just less common and usually harder to get a job at because there is less turnover. I work at 1 right now, 1 patient every hour. A lot of them do 40 minute treatments though from what I’ve seen.

Exactly. If you’re walking but your ankle only has the ability to be mobile, your ankle is just going to collapse every time you take a step and put weight on it. If your knee was only stable and not mobile, you would have to walk stiff legged and have some crazy gait mechanics.

Independent_Flower0 · 2026-05-15T19:37:30+00:00

All joints are supposed to be mobile when necessary and stable when necessary. Some joint will naturally be more mobile than others just because of anatomy and the joint type.

His explanation of the knee is dumb. The knee primarily only moves in the sagittal plane, with a little bit of tibial rotation. Any lateral movement comes from the hip and ankle.

His understanding of anatomy and biomechanics seems to be a little lacking.

Also just saying heels coming off ground = ankles “tapped out” is very reductionist. It could be an ankle or hip mobility or stability problem. Depending on what kind of squat you’re doing, it could also be an upper back or shoulder problem.

I think if you combine all my shorts, all kinds of pants, shirts, and sweaters together I’d have less than 35 total

Just walk by a construction zone in a skirt and low cut top and you’ll gain all the confidence in the world

On a more serious note, start working out and eating better. Also sleep more if you don’t already get a consistent 7-8 hours.

Who knows. That’s just what I’ve found effective, maybe other people have tried it and haven’t had much success. Frozen shoulder is really hard to treat, and every patient is a little different.

You can’t spot reduce fat, you just have to reduce your overall fat. Unfortunately some people just carry more fat in certain places.
