Lateral hip pain relief to resilience
A 20-week conservative rehab programme for lateral hip pain, gluteal tendinopathy and hip bursitis (GTPS). A structured path to reduce pain, build strength and return to activity, without surgery.
Built for the lateral hip
Lateral hip pain, often caused by gluteal tendinopathy (sometimes called greater trochanteric pain syndrome or bursitis), is one of the most common causes of pain on the outside of the hip, especially with walking, climbing stairs and lying on the affected side.
Designed by Mehmet Gem, a specialist hip physiotherapist, this is a structured, evidence-informed pathway to reduce pain, improve hip muscle control and build tolerance to load through progressive strength and functional training. It moves you from pain-limited daily tasks all the way to confident, resilient, life-ready movement.
