This is a great starter for people experiencing pain on the outside of the hip, often diagnosed as a Gluteal tendonitis and/or bursitis.
An individualised approach is gold standard to help find the right loading to get the tendon area back on track…remember tendons need load!
But the first thing you need to do is avoid “annoying” the area to let the inflammation settle, and these are some common annoyances to have a think about.
Lateral Hip Pain is often aggravated by activities involving hip adduction. Modifying or reducing these can help symptoms.
Just remember that long term avoidance is not the answer! Aim to adapt activity rather than avoid and plan a graded return when ready.
