Hip Analysis

The next consultation, our Hip Coaches will do a comprehensive hip analysis. This will examine where your pain is coming from and what the contributing factors may be.

In this analysis, we bring together the following parameters:

Demographics (age, gender, …)
Radiography (imaging findings).
Physical parameters (your tests of analysis)
Psychosocial parameters (how you feel, your thinking patterns, etc.)
Medical history

We will see which exercise therapy will work best for you. Based on the findings and results of your tests, together we establish a personalized course of action. With established goals for you and your physiotherapist.

We explain your personalized treatment plan in detail.

Trajectories

Non-operative trajectory

Our philosophy is not to operate first. We believe very strongly in a holistic approach where the body adapts to what you give and ask for. Recent data analysis of approximately 2000 of our hip patients, shows that we only need to operate on 23% of this population. The non-operative pathway consists of a personalized approach with exercise therapy and a holistic approach. To tailor this pathway, we first fully assess you through objective and subjective measurements.

Operative trajectory

Are non-operative treatment options not sufficiently successful? Or are you in too much pain to pursue the non-operative route? If so, our surgeons are ready to help you move forward with an operative trajectory.

See below how a surgical procedure works and what surgical treatments we can help you with.
