4. Hip flexor Tendinitis
Hip flexor tendonitis is a strain on the tendon attaching the psoas muscle to the iliac bone. This is caused by overuse of the hip flexors which leads to the inflammation of the iliopsoas and rectus tendon sheaths. Hip flexor tendonitis is caused by repetitive or incidental trauma, overuse of the tendon sheaths or slight injuries to these sheaths.
This condition is common in pro athletes who use the hip flexors a lot to do rigorous activities requiring speed, to cover long-distance tasks and also to sport uphill. Also, changing to a new type of exercise is a leading cause of hip flexor tendinitis.
It is diagnosed by using radio imaging either x-rays or MRI. A person diagnosed with tendinitis of the hip flexors may want to reduce the occupation that causes it or stop doing that activity completely. Surgery may also be performed anthropically after which physical therapy is used to promote steady recovery.
