Lateral hip distraction was initiated during the third treatment session to help alleviate the patient's groin pain and improve her tolerance to passive hip movement into internal rotation and flexion. Lateral translation of the pelvis is minimized with use of a belt placed inferior to the anterior superior iliac spines and wrapped around the table. This hip mobilization technique was performed with the hip in a flexed-adducted-internally rotated position short of symptom provocation with oscillations performed with the clinician's hips via a second belt.
