The position your hips are in matters!
If you have an excessive arch in your lower back, it can contribute to front of hip tightness and irritation. This excessive arch can happen for a variety of reasons but here are some main reasons:
1. Muscle imbalances
2. Changes in the way your move due to pain
3. Weight carried in your midsection
Finding ways to reduce the excessive arch as you move your limbs can be one way to help improve your posture when walking and thus reduce stress to the front of the hip ☝🏽
If you’re doing this movement, make sure your lower back stays in contact with the wall. Your bodies natural inclination is to arch away from the wall as you lift your arms 🙌🏼
I just released a full YouTube video on this topic as well. Search “Dr Alyssa Kuhn, front of hip” to watch the full video!

Can also be known as gluteal bursitis or greater trochanter pain syndrome.
Gluteal tendinopathy, is characterized by persistent pain and tenderness over the lateral hip (focused on the greater trochanter). It is the most common lower extremity tendinoapthy and most prevalent in post-menopasual women and runners.
The two main drivers for this condition, is EXCESSIVE compression and loading. Minimizing, TEMPORARILY some positions and movements will be beneficial and gradually increasing the load tolerance of the tendon. There are other risk factors, such as bone structure, width of pelvis and femoral neck angle.
For the exercises, we have given a general recommendations, however, the dosage with need to be tailored to the individual, depending on severity of symptoms, fitness level, contextual factors etc. In addition, we recommend you start with the first progression and take adequate time before moving on the the more difficult progressions. May that be a few days or many weeks.
