Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS) is a common cause of lateral hip pain and can affect both active and sedentary individuals. Symptoms often develop gradually and may be influenced by repetitive loading, altered movement patterns, or reduced tolerance of the surrounding hip structures.
GTPS can present differently from person to person, which is why management and exercise selection should be individualized. If hip pain is persistent or limiting daily activities, speak with your physiotherapist about appropriate assessment and treatment options.
