What Causes Hip Pain?

One of the most common causes of outer hip pain is a condition called Hip Bursitis (also known as Trochanteric Bursitis or Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome). This condition occurs when the tendons on the outside of your hip become irritated or overloaded, often due to muscle weakness, postural imbalances, or training errors.

Common Causes of Hip Pain Include:

• Weak glute muscles or hip stabilisers

• Overtraining or rapid return to exercise

• Flat feet or poor foot biomechanics (leading to excess hip loading)

• Poor posture or sitting habits

• Incorrect running technique or footwear

• Previous hip, back or knee injuries

While bursitis used to be blamed on inflammation of the bursa (a fluid-filled sac), we now know that tendon compression and overload are the main culprits.

Signs & Symptoms of Hip Bursitis / Tendon Pain

• A burning pain on the outside of your hip, possibly radiating to the knee

• Pain when lying on your side at night

• Pain when standing after rest (eg: mornings or after driving)

• Discomfort when sitting cross-legged or rising from low chairs

• Pain with prolonged walking, standing, or stairs

• Limping in more severe cases

These symptoms can be frustrating and persistent—but they are treatable with the right care and exercise approach.
