The Process of Returning from Labrum Surgery - Taylor Beyers and Gina Pongetti

Hip arthroscopic procedures are one the most common surgeries we see at Achieve Sports Medicine. We see patients ranging in age from as young as 11 to mid-60's who undergo surgery to repair labral tears and/or impingement syndromes. While most of these patients are athletes that involve repetition, such as runners, gymnasts, and dancers, their activity levels can range from weekend warrior and recreation to elite/professionals. We find that hip arthroscopy procedures are most successful when done as a team approach. As therapists we play a role in the pre-surgical (AKA: prehab) and post-surgical periods.

Athlete Spotlight - Kira Olivares

"Never settle; always work.  If you're not happy find a place where you are happy."  Every individual has a happy place that can compel the feeling of joy.  For Kira Olivares, that happy place is on the dance floor.  Dancing has been Kira's life for the last fifteen years, and she is currently a dance major at Loyola University Chicago.  However, when Kira tore the labrum in one of her hips, it brought with it a new perspective and appreciation for dance.
