I came to see Prof Griffin after an MRI confirmed that I had a labral tear in my right hip which was preventing me from running. The pain in my hip meant that I was no longer able to compete as a triathlete as I was struggling to train effectively and even cycling in an aero position was a problem. I was very apprehensive about having any invasive procedure and had considered that my triathlon career might be over. However, Prof Griffin was very calm and reassured me that it would be possible to run again. We carried out a range of tests to identify/confirm the issue before proceeding with any surgery. After having surgery and completing the rehab, I am able to run again and have been amazed at how well I have recovered. It is as if the injury never occurred. Thank you!
