Hip flexor strains can vary in severity, ranging from mild stretches or micro-tears to partial or complete muscle tears. Symptoms of a hip flexor strain may include pain and tenderness in the front of the hip or upper thigh, pain or difficulty with hip movement or walking, swelling or bruising, and muscle weakness.

Treatment for a hip flexor strain typically involves the RICE method: Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. Resting the injured hip and avoiding activities that exacerbate the pain is important for healing. Applying ice packs to the area can help reduce pain and inflammation. Compression with an elastic bandage and elevating the leg when possible can also aid in reducing swelling.

In some cases, physical therapy exercises and stretching may be recommended to improve flexibility, strength, and promote healing. Severe strains may require medical intervention, such as medications or even surgery.

If you suspect you have a hip flexor strain, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional, such as a doctor or physical therapist, for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.

Why did you choose your current profession?

I was first a personal trainer and found that everyone has some sort of ache, pain, or injury. I went back to school for athletic therapy to help my personal training. I ended up really liking AT and now do both. I enjoy working with sports teams tremendously, and like the variety in my work!

Who influenced your profession choice the most?

I had great ATs while I was running track at York University. They exposed me to the program at York and the possibilities. Grey Cook and Paul Chek also showed me what could be done with the sports med knowledge while doing strength and conditioning.
