Trochanteric Bursitis (Hip Bursitis)

Trochanteric bursitis is inflammation of the fluid-filled sac at the outer hip, causing pain over the hip bone that can spread down the thigh. Physiotherapy helps reduce inflammation and correct movement habits that irritate the area.

Common Symptoms

Do's

  • Modify sleeping position to avoid pressure on the hip
  • Apply ice to reduce pain and swelling
  • Follow a gentle hip-strengthening program
  • Maintain good posture while standing and walking

Don'ts

  • Don't sit cross-legged for long periods
  • Don't sleep directly on the painful hip
  • Don't ignore pain that worsens with stairs
  • Don't perform repetitive hip movements without guidance

When to see a physiotherapist: See a doctor if hip pain is severe, affects sleep, or does not improve with rest, and consult a physiotherapist for targeted treatment.
