Longer Duration of Rehab Programs for FAI

Research has found that rehab programs for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) need to be at least three months long to achieve better outcomes. Shorter duration programs of six weeks or less did not show significant improvements in pain or functional performance. It is important for both physiotherapists and patients to understand that patience is required to see significant changes, and premature referral for invasive treatments like surgery should be avoided. Muscle strengthening in the bigger muscle groups is crucial for better outcomes in FAI patients.
