Pain on the outside of your hip? You're not alone.

Pain over the side of the hip is one of the most common complaints we see in the clinic. It's often related to irritation of the gluteal tendons or the bursa, commonly referred to as gluteal tendinopathy or gluteal bursitis.

In this video, our physiotherapist Ashton demonstrates hands-on treatment aimed at reducing tension through the glute medius, glute minimus and piriformis muscles, while helping restore normal movement around the hip.

You might relate if you've noticed:
✔️ Pain when lying on your side
✔️ Pain walking or climbing stairs
✔️ Tenderness on the outside of the hip
✔️ Deep glute tightness or aching

While hands-on treatment can be helpful, identifying why the problem developed is just as important. A thorough assessment allows us to address the underlying cause and create a plan to help you return to comfortable, pain-free movement.

Have you ever experienced pain on the outside of your hip? Let us know in the comments.

Injured at work or in a car accident?

One of the biggest things we hear is:
“I don’t want to start physio because it’s going to cost me.”

The reality? In many cases, it won’t cost you anything out of pocket.

If your claim is approved through WorkSafe, TAC, or DVA, your physiotherapy can be fully covered — and you can start treatment straight away.

We’ve put together a simple guide explaining exactly how it works 👇
