Can You Actually Fix Hip Impingement with Rehab?

In this episode of the Restoring Human Movement Podcast, cohost Dr. Sebastian Gonzales DC dives deep into one of the most misunderstood topics in musculoskeletal health: hip impingement (FAI). Drawing from real-world telehealth sessions and in-person client cases, Sebastian unpacks the truth behind this often-frustrating condition. Is hip impingement purely a structural issue doomed to persist forever? Or is there more to the story?

You’ll learn why symptoms can come and go, why X-rays and MRIs don’t tell the full picture, and how biomechanics play a massive role in whether or not you actually feel hip pain. Sebastian shares his approach to building a resilient hip using smart rehab programming — and the essential "check-boxes" that every plan should cover. He also discusses how people often give up on exercises too soon just because one movement hurts — and why regression and progression are key tools, not failures.

If you’re a runner, active adult, or healthcare provider dealing with hip impingement, this episode will challenge what you thought you knew and give you a framework to start creating real change. Plus, this conversation pairs with a YouTube video breakdown for those who want a visual walk-through.
