Nature of hip psoas tendon treatment
This treatment targets dysfunction of the psoas tendon, a major hip flexor structure often involved in snapping hip syndrome or chronic groin pain. Interventions may include guided injections to reduce inflammation or surgical release to alleviate mechanical irritation.
Common causes of psoas tendon issues
Psoas tendon issues are typically caused by overuse or sudden strain, including:
Overuse: Repetitive hip flexion in runners, dancers, or athletes
Tendon thickening: From chronic tension or scar tissue buildup.
Anatomical tightness: Naturally tight psoas leading to friction over bones.
Hip joint abnormalities: Contributing to altered tendon mechanics.
Trauma or strain: Sudden force or movement leading to tendon irritation.
Diagnosing suitability for hip psoas tendon treatment
Diagnosis involves clinical examination and imaging, such as ultrasound or MRI, to detect inflammation, thickening, or snapping of the psoas tendon. Your clinician will also assess movement patterns and the history of symptoms. Suitability for this treatment is based on the severity of symptoms, response to prior therapies, and lifestyle demands.
Suitable for
Snapping hip syndrome
Chronic psoas tendinitis
Treatment overview
Treatment of the hip psoas tendon focuses on relieving tension, inflammation, and impingement around the tendon. Depending on the severity, options include guided injections for inflammation relief or surgical lengthening of the tendon to reduce friction and snapping. The procedure is typically minimally invasive and followed by a structured rehabilitation programme to restore strength and mobility.
Treatment is aimed at improving function, resolving pain, and allowing a return to normal activity. The psoas tendon connects the psoas muscle—part of the hip flexor group—to the upper thigh bone. It plays a vital role in lifting the leg and stabilising the hip during movement. Injury or overuse can cause the tendon to become inflamed or thickened, leading to snapping, pain, or restricted mobility, especially during walking, running, or rising from a seated position.
