This document summarizes research on the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) with manual therapy. It discusses the anatomy and causes of FAI, as well as diagnosis using imaging and clinical exams. While evidence directly comparing manual therapy to exercise for FAI is limited, manual therapy techniques used successfully for hip osteoarthritis may also benefit FAI by increasing range of motion and reducing pain. Case reports show positive outcomes with manual therapy including traction, mobilization, and soft tissue techniques for FAI patients. More research is still needed on rehabilitation approaches for FAI.

Editor's Notes
- Most patients are diagnosed with snapping hip or psoas muscle strain or bursitis
- Feel end-feel. Should be capsular, not empty or painful.
- Used to assess FAI – exactally like the shoulder impingement test. Same ball and socket joint. Always test this prior to having a patient stretch the piriformis muscle
