A common spot for bursitis is on the side of the hip. Here a large tendon passes over the bony bump (greater trochanter) on the side of the hip. Inflammation in the bursa between the tendon and the greater trochanter is called trochanteric bursitis. Talk to the team at FYZICAL Butler to discuss any pain or injuries that you are dealing with.
Physical therapy promotes recovery from bursitis by addressing issues, such as pain in the body structure, that is under stress from any lack of strength, flexibility, or body control. Your physical therapist may also recommend a period of relative rest, then help you slowly resume activities and carefully guide your progression. When bursitis remains untreated, however, your pain will persist and result in long-term difficulty performing your desired activities.
