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.
