These cause aching and tenderness, especially at night due to pressure on the hip. Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation and sometimes imaging. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role, focusing on strengthening gluteal muscles and core stability, stretching, and improving posture to relieve pain and prevent recurrence. Proper sleep positioning, such as using a pillow between the knees, can reduce discomfort. Early treatment improves outcomes, while ongoing exercises help maintain hip health. Seek medical advice if pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by other symptoms to ensure appropriate care and diagnosis.
