Abstract

A 14-year-old female ballet student was referred to physical therapy for examination and treatment of left inguinal region pain. A single session of non-thrust manipulation resulted in an immediate and lasting improvement in symptoms. This case report includes a description of the relevant examination and treatment procedures as well as a discussion of hip instability and the acetabular labrum.
