148 | Hip Bursitis: What To Do For Your Inflamed Hips

Feeling pain around the outer hips? Been diagnosed with hip-related bursitis/ tendonitis/ tendinopathy? DocJen and Dr. Dom dive into current perspectives on inflammation-related diagnosis in the hips. With shifts in understanding towards tissue adaptations and tissue arrangement dysregulation, they explain the differences between the different diagnoses and what is happening when symptoms are elicited chronically. Explaining the anatomy surrounding the glutes, they explain the difference between “itis” and “osis,” and the different bursas in the region. Steering away from approaches that target inflammation, DocJen & Dr. Dom offer tools on how loading the tissues, strength, and working on muscular coordination will get you on track to pain-free movement optimally!
