Functional Strength Blueprint

Pain in the outer part of the hip is common, particularly with women in peri-menopause or after. I hear this from ladies nearly every day. It tends to bother them in bed. Men can also have this pesky problem.

Not sure if it is related to MANopause though...😁

This is the best evidence-based treatment to start with.

Doctors often call it "bursitis" but in reality, the tendons and muscles attaching to the hip are involved.

Contracting the muscles helps to decrease the pain almost every time. Press out into the belt and hold for 20-30 seconds Each rep should feel better, not worse. You may need to push harder or a bit lighter based on how it feels.

Of course this may not be right for everyone. And if it makes the pain worse, do not continue - you will need additional medical advice.

But, I have helped lots of people with this simple technique.

Comment if any questions. Hope it helps.

No more back pain with deadlifts. Form is the key. Hip hinge is the way. I love deadlifts but only if the hip hinge movement is good to go.

Functional training includes moving the way your body is designed.

Muscles, joints and fascia connect and move in all sorts of ways.

Diagonal and rotational patterns make your body and brain stronger and more mobile.

Let's go!

Dead hang pullups for the win. One part of a full body workout not a "back day."
