It is known that football players are at greater risk of developing hip osteoarthritis (OA). Physiotherapists can play an important role in the prevention and treatment of the condition. In this PowerTalk Dr. Joshua Heerey (LaTrobe, AUS) will provide attendees with an evidence-based overview of the hip osteoarthritis continuum in football players. He will merge scientific evidence and clinical experience to provide you with comprehensive understanding of the OA continuum in football players, with a particular focus on diagnosis and clinical management.
