Came across this interesting article. I think the general idea of doing training to balance muscle strength for pain relief and better performance is really important. I've been working a bit myself lately on neck flexion exercises since I have a tendency to overuse my posterior neck muscles.

While these sorts of treatments take patience and consistency, I do think they provide the greatest potential for lasting symptom reduction i.e. pain relief.

"-Don’t train in pain
-Perform lots of extra work for the weaker glute in the form of isometric and low-load dynamic glute activation drills
-Perform lighter bilateral movements such as squats and deadlifts with perfect symmetry
-Utilize resistance bands placed around the feet, ankles, or knees to perform squats, bridges, and various walking movements
-Perform extra volume for the weaker leg when busting out single leg and core stability work such as lunges, single leg RDLs, side planks and Pallof presses, and
-Perform SMR and flexibility work if you have hip flexibility imbalances."
