Dr. Caleb Burgess

Physical Therapist and Trainer

The Hip Impingement Recovery Program is an 8-week program designed for individuals who struggle with pain at the front of the hip/groin and front of the thigh, particularly made worse by positions or movements that bring the knee/thigh closer toward the trunk (like a deep squat, sitting in a low chair, etc), the thigh across the body, rotated inward, or a combination of all of those motions.

For these individuals, the following movements, activities, and positions are usually painful:

- Sitting in low positions
- Deep squatting
- Pivoting toward the painful side
- Sprinting (sometimes)
- Going up stairs (sometimes)
- Other positions or movements where the hip is moving into the positions listed in the top paragraph

This program requires minimal equipment and progresses throughout the 8-week period.

As it was designed, each workout is to be performed daily for 2 weeks before moving on to the next 2-week block, BUT some people will find that staying on a certain workout for several weeks may be more appropriate for them if they find benefit from it or need more time until they move on to the next workout.

And that's okay! Take as long as you need on each routine...there is NO RUSH!

As always, if you find that certain exercises seem to be too challenging or even uncomfortable, please don't hesitate to reach out to me via direct message (see the 3 dots at the top right corner of the app) so that I can give you a modification or alternative.

P.S. If you find that you're really struggling and need something more customized/tailored to you and your individual body and situation, send me a message to set up a 1-on-1 virtual consultation, where I'll put you through a detailed movement exam and then put together your own customized program!
