Introducing our new, longer form podcast, Physio Discussed, where 2 expert guests and our host explore everything you need to know about your favourite topics!

In this episode we dive deep into hip pain and hip osteoarthritis. We discuss:

• When can you consider pharmacological treatments in a patent with early hip OA/OA.
• What role does hip morphology play when considering treatment options
• Will all patients with FAI syndrome and hip dysplasia develop hip osteoarthritis?
• Does exercise have a role in treating hip pain in younger people, if pain is coming from structural things like labral or cartilage tears? How can exercise work in this scenario? Why would you choose exercise over surgery?
• What is the evidence for exercise and does this type of exercise matter?
• Are there other things alongside exercise that are important? - exercise different in younger people than older people with hip OA?
