Hip Labral Tear

Stefanie Chaffee

Four years ago, I was suffering from severe hip paint due to impingement and labral tears. My local doctors and family told me I would never be able to run or play volleyball again. Finally, I was referred to Dr. Bryan Kelly and underwent a hip arthroscopy. The staff at HSS were amazing and took excellent care of me. After rigorous physical therapy and my favorite, Active Release Therapy, I was able to slowly increase my activity levels. Now, I am running 25K trail runs, hiking the Presidential Traverse, and completing high intensity workouts. I am in better shape than I was before I even started having hip pain!
