🦵 Understanding Gluteal Tendinopathy

Gluteal tendinopathy (also called greater trochanteric pain syndrome) is one of the most common causes of outer hip pain — especially in people who sit for long hours, walk or run frequently, or sleep on one side.

⚠️ Common Causes

Repetitive compression or friction of the gluteus medius and minimus tendons over the greater trochanter

Weak hip stabilisers and poor pelvic control

Overuse in activities like running, climbing stairs, or prolonged standing

Hormonal changes (more common in women over 40)

💥 Typical Symptoms

Pain on the outer side of the hip or thigh

Discomfort when lying on the affected side

Pain climbing stairs or walking uphill

Tenderness over the greater trochanter

💪 Prevention Tips

Strengthen gluteal and hip stabilising muscles

Avoid crossing legs or sitting in twisted positions

Use correct running/walking technique

Maintain healthy body weight to reduce tendon load

💆‍♀️ Treatment Options

Remedial massage therapy: helps release tight surrounding muscles (TFL, gluteus maximus, IT band) to reduce tendon compression.

Dry needling: can help reduce pain and muscle tension, improving local blood flow.

Physiotherapy: essential for progressive loading and strengthening of the gluteus medius/minimus tendons.

Shockwave therapy or red light therapy: sometimes used for chronic cases.

✅ At Massage Land Tamworth, our team of therapists and physiologists work together to reduce pain, restore movement, and help you get back to your best.

✨ Why Regular Massage Matters for Your Body & Mind ✨

Massage isn’t just a luxury — it’s an essential part of maintaining a healthy body and balanced mind. Regular massage therapy improves blood circulation, reduces inflammation, and supports faster recovery of muscles and connective tissues. It helps regulate the nervous system, lowers stress hormones such as cortisol, and increases serotonin and dopamine — your natural “feel-good” chemicals.

For people with chronic pain, stress, or tightness from work or training, consistent sessions lead to long-term results — improved posture, reduced tension, better sleep, and greater mental clarity. Just like going to the gym, the real benefits of massage come with consistency, not just one session.

Take care of your body before pain takes over. Prevention is always better than treatment.

Ever wondered what those stubborn "knots" in your muscles really are? 🤔

They might be Trigger Points – the key feature of a common but often misunderstood condition called Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS).

What are Trigger Points?
These are hyperirritable spots within a tight band of muscle.They can be:
•Active: Causing constant pain or tenderness.
•Latent: Painless at rest, but cause pain and stiffness when pressed.

The Mystery of "Referred Pain"
This is the most fascinating part!When you press on a trigger point, the pain can appear in a TOTALLY different area of your body.
👉A knot in your shoulder muscle can cause a debilitating headache.
👉A knot in your glutes can send pain down your leg, mimicking sciatica.
👉A knot in your neck can cause jaw pain or even earaches.

What creates these knots?
•🪑 Poor posture & long periods of sitting
•🔁 Repetitive muscle use
•💥 Acute injuries (like a strain or whiplash)
•😥 High levels of stress & anxiety

Understanding this concept is the first and most powerful step toward managing your pain. By knowing about MPS, you can better understand the source of your discomfort and seek more informed solutions.

🦶 Heel pain or a bump at the back of your foot?
You might be dealing with Haglund’s Deformity, also known as the Pump Bump 👠

It’s a small bony growth where your Achilles tendon attaches to your heel — often caused by tight shoes, high arches, or running too much.

💥 Common signs:
• Pain and swelling behind the heel
• Redness and irritation
• A hard bump that rubs against shoes

💆‍♀️ What helps:
✅ Rest and ice
✅ Gentle stretching & physio
✅ Avoid stiff shoes
✅ Supportive footwear or heel pads

If pain keeps coming back, surgery might be needed to remove the bump.

💡 Pro tip:
Pick comfy shoes, stretch your calves, and give your heels a break!

👣 Happy feet = happy life!
