"Physical therapy diagnosis related to the hip and adjacent regions often requires a solid understanding of the actions of the surrounding muscles. This knowledge is instrumental in identifying when a specific muscle or muscle group is weak, painful, dominant, or tight (ie, lacks the extensibility to permit normal range of motion). Depending on the particular muscle, any one of these conditions can significantly affect the alignment across the lumbar spine, pelvis, and femur, ultimately affecting the alignment throughout the entire lower limb. Furthermore, understanding the actions of the hip muscles is fundamental to interventions used to specifically activate, strengthen, or stretch certain muscles." F.U.N.D.A.M.E.N.T.A.L!!!!!!!!!!
