Pain In The Hip: Common Causes Of Hip Pain - Sports Injuries, Treatment and Performance Information
Throughout my career, I have often heard people reference the hip as the wallflower or “forgotten joint,” when the hip is one of the largest and most important joints in your body.

In pain, they are quick to accept other diagnoses, which are often incorrect, leading to increased discomfort and frustration.
