Gluteal tendon painA clearer look at the problem.
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome commonly involves the gluteal tendons at the outside of the hip. Shockwave may be considered for persistent tendon related pain, usually alongside changes to aggravating loads and progressive hip strengthening.
How we approach it
- 01Assess the hip, lower back and movement pattern
- 02Identify the painful tendon region
- 03Use radial pressure waves at a tolerable intensity
- 04Progress hip strength and reduce irritating compression
Treatment should match the tissue, the person and the goal.
A careful assessment helps us identify the tissues contributing to your outer hip pain and create a plan that combines targeted treatment with progressive strengthening.
