Hello, I'm a first year PT student in my first clinical placement. I had
a client today who presented with trochanteric bursitis. I'm having
problems developing a treatment protocol for her. So far I have her
stretching her quads and hip flexors since they are the ones which are
tight and rubbing on the bursa. I also have recommended she use ice to
decrease any inflammation in the area. She reports the pain travelling
into her groin along her inguinal ligament - I don't understand this. Can
someone figure this out? Also, is there anything else I can do to treat
her? Would U/S work or is its thermal effect contraindicated? Thanks for
any insights,
Anne clark
