In my experiance (18m of hips issues and diagnosis of FAI) most medical professionals were not very competent when it comes to hips (I saw 11 none bothered to check my hip strength and function). Seems to be massive emphasis on the symtoms and dealing with that and not the underlying cause.
Modern life stlyes mean we dont use our hips properly and if you can adress that you should be able to overcome most issues.
I turned down surgury and through my on online research have overcome 95% of my issues - I found Upright Health on youtube to a great place to start - great resource
