Gluteal Tendinitis

Gluteal tendinitis is when one or more of the tendons on the outside of your hip becomes irritated, leading to hip, buttock, and upper thigh discomfort, especially at night.

Gluteal tendinitis can be caused by overuse, gluteal muscle weakness, age-related degeneration, improper footwear, and previous hip or lower back injuries.

To help manage gluteal tendinitis, you may need to temporarily limit activities that could worsen the condition, such as running or climbing hills. Low-stress alternatives include cycling or water-based exercises. try to land softly on the front of your heels when you walk and take shorter, quicker steps to avoid over-striding.
