Hip drop: The dropping down of the opposite side of the pelvis during the ‘stance phase’ of running. Two of the main biomechanics issues which cause this are: With a gluteal tendinopathy, our personal running biomechanics can also increase the stress placed upon the tendons over the outer hip bone. Not enough load and we won’t see our tendons strengthening and adapting. Too much load over too short a period – including increasing your training frequency, duration, intensity or distance – and we risk overloading them. The capacity of our tendons is influenced by the size, frequency and type of loads we expose them to. Tendinopathy can occur to any three of these tendons, but research suggests that it is the gluteus medius and minimus tendons that are most usually affected, due to compression of the iliotibial band against the two tendons. The glutes are a group of three muscles – the gluteus maximus, medius and minimus – originating from the external surface of the pelvic bone (ilium) and attaching to the bony ridge at the top of the thigh bone (femur), called the greater trochanter.
Here, charted physiotherapist Matt Bergin, of Witty, Pask & Buckingham Chartered Physiotherapists, explains all. If you have gluteal tendinopathy, you will likely feel tenderness over your outer hip bone (greater trochanter) with pain sometimes referring down your outer thigh.Īddressing the underlying cause is key to getting this common injury resolved – as is the care careful management of symptoms and targeted exercises to strengthen the tendon. Gluteal tendinopathy – commonly referred to as trochanteric bursitis, lateral hip pain or greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) – is an overload of the tendons that attach the gluteal muscles into the outside of your upper leg.
