Although pain in the lateral hip region is commonly believed to be secondary to irritation of the trochanteric bursa, only 20% of cases are actually thought to represent true bursitis. In the majority of cases, pain is thought to be associated with dysfunction of the gluteus medius and minimus muscles and their respective tendons.
According to recent research, individuals without tenderness over the greater trochanter (bone on the outside of the hip) are unlikely to have gluteal tendinopathy. Risk factors include: female gender (4:1 female to male ratio), high body-mass index (BMI), excessive hip adduction, weak gluteal muscles and a rapid increase in plyometric load.
If you have pain on the outside of your hip, this program will teach you exercises that will strengthen your gluteal muscles and their tendons, reduce pain and improve your overall function.
