AB Due  to  its  location,  design,  and  function,  the  hip  joint  transmits  truly  impressive  loads,  both  tensile  and  compressive.  Loads  of  up  to  eight  times  body  weight  have  been  demonstrated  in  the  hip  joint  during  jogging,  with  potentially  greater  loads  present  during  vigorous  athletic  competition.1  In  addition  to  providing  stability,  the  hip  joint  permits  a  great  deal  of  mobility.  Any  imbalance  between  these  two  variables  can  leave  the  hip  joint  and  surrounding  tissues  prone  to  soft  tissue  injuries,  impingement  syndromes,  and  joint  dysfunction.
