AMERICAN ACADEMY OF SPORTS PHYSICAL THERAPY (AASPT): The AASPT is proud to offer its members the opportunity to focus on issues of specific areas of practice in the form of our special interest groups (SIGs). This issue's spotlight is on the hip SIG. The 3-part mission of the hip SIG is to (1) provide useful and clinically applicable information; (2) update SIG members on medical, surgical, and rehabilitation advancements related to the hip; and (3) facilitate future research related to hip function and pathology. We were fortunate to spend some time chatting with SIG Chair Mike Reiman about the past, present, and future of the hip SIG. The hip SIG was founded in 2008 by Eric Meira to bring together sports physical therapists sharing a common interest in treating the hip and has developed over time to include those who are interested in lumbar spine/pelvic girdle pathology, as this body region is not well represented in the AASPT. The SIG has worked hard to increase student membership and would like to continue to extend an invitation to all students to join the hip SIG, as well as any AASPT SIG.
