Matt King – hip pain and biomechanics in athletes, hip osteoarthritis, rehabilitation
This week Zuzana and I spoke to Dr Matt King from the La Trobe Sport and Exercise Medicine Research Centre. Matt is a physiotherapist, researcher and educator with a special interest in hip pain and biomechanics in athletes.
Zuzana and I asked Matt about his PhD research on men and women with hip-related pain and the use of biomechanics to understand why some people with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) develop osteoarthritis later in life. We also spoke about rehabilitation for people with hip pain and differences between men and women in movement patterns in sport. We then had a really interesting conversation about biomechanical research, women in sport and how clinicians can get involved in research.
This is a discussion aimed at health professionals and health professional students. Always seek the guidance of a qualified health professional with any questions you may have regarding your health or a medical condition.
