Iliopsoas Tendinopathy (Hip Flexor Tendon Pain)

In this plan

1. P

   Purpose, Prevention & Protection

   • I know the iliopsoas tendon joins two deep muscles to my thigh bone and helps me lift my knee.
   • I know repeated hip bending can overload this tendon. Running, cycling, dancing, and step-ups may trigger pain.
   • I know this can be a lasting or repeat problem. Pushing through painful hip bending can keep it flared.
   • I tell my team about past hip surgery or a hip replacement, since these can change the cause and treatment.
