A physiotherapist can
use a combination of different techniques to address bursitis and gluteal
tendinopathy. In some cases, passive therapies can help relieve symptoms, while
other methods may be more invasive. However, if you’re not able to perform any
normal activities, physiotherapy can be beneficial. If you have not been able
to perform daily activities due to your injury, your physiotherapist can
prescribe the best exercises to help you recover.
During treatment,
targeted hip abductor strengthening is necessary to correct the underlying
causes of your pain. You may also need to retrain your muscles to move the
affected hip. You may be able to practice adduction control during everyday
bodyweight tasks such as standing on one leg, descending a standard step, or
lifting heavier objects. Once the pain subsides, you can progress to more
complex movements and increase your resistance.
In addition to physiotherapy, your doctor may also prescribe a pain-reduction
program to help reduce your symptoms. A physiotherapist may recommend a
combination of physical therapy and a physiotherapy program to help you feel
better. Your therapist will work with you to modify your activities so that
your condition does not deteriorate. Moreover, your physiotherapist can
prescribe the right exercises that can strengthen your hip musculature.
