Gluteal tendinopathy is a common cause of lateral hip pain, especially in middle-aged women and runners. It results from irritation or degeneration of the gluteus medius and minimus tendons, usually at their insertion on the greater trochanter of the femur. People often confuse it with hip bursitis, as the symptoms overlapβpain when lying on the side, climbing stairs, walking, or standing for long periods.
At our clinic, Dr. Deepika Bansal offers an evidence-based physiotherapy approach for gluteal tendinopathy that includes:
πΉ Load management β Avoiding aggravating activities and postures like crossed legs or prolonged standing on one leg
πΉ Targeted strengthening exercises β Especially isometric and eccentric loading for the gluteus medius and minimus muscles
πΉ Stretching and myofascial release β To reduce tightness in surrounding structures like the iliotibial band
πΉ Postural and gait correction β To minimize strain on the tendons
πΉ Modalities like ultrasound, dry needling, or laser β To reduce pain and promote tendon healing
πΉ Pelvic stability exercises β To enhance control and reduce recurrence
Early intervention is key. Donβt ignore outer hip painβconsult Dr. Deepika Bansal for an accurate diagnosis and a customized treatment plan.
