Iliopsoas tendinitis

Iliopsoas-related pain involves the hip flexor muscle-tendon region at the front of the hip. It may be associated with repetitive loading and sometimes a snapping sensation. Groin pain is not specific to this tendon and needs an appropriate assessment.

Symptoms and reasons to seek assessment

Symptoms may occur with hip flexion, rising or certain sports movements. Tell the clinician which activities provoke pain and whether there was a fall, fever or difficulty bearing weight. Problems in the joint and other nearby structures can feel similar.

Assessment and treatment considerations

An examination helps locate the source of symptoms. Imaging is considered if it can clarify the diagnosis or change management. Treatment may involve activity modification and an individually planned rehabilitation programme. Avoid aggressive stretching or repeated painful testing based on a presumed diagnosis. Persistent symptoms should lead to reassessment of both the diagnosis and the load on the area.

Prepare for an assessment in Matamoros

Bring available studies and reports, a list of medications and a short account of how symptoms affect your daily life. Write down what you would like treatment to improve. Ask which findings explain the concern, what options are reasonable and when progress should be reviewed.
