How to fix “Hip Bursitis” (aka “Trochanteric Bursitis”)
If you have pain along the outside of one of your hips, right near the bone that you can feel with your hands, it’s very likely that you have “hip bursitis” or “trochanteric bursitis”.
This bony prominence is called your “greater trochanter”, which is why this type of hip pain is often called “trochanteric bursitis”.
In this video, I’ll explain how to treat your hip bursitis pain, which starts with finding the ROOT CAUSE of your pain and then following what I call the “3 Phases of Recovery”.
Check out the video if you’d like to learn how to eliminate your hip bursitis pain!
I also have a video about what causes hip bursitis and trochanteric bursitis, and you’re welcome to start with that video first (I link to that video at 34 seconds into this one).
I hope this video helps you eliminate your hip bursitis pain!

“What Is/Causes Hip Bursitis?” (aka “trochanteric bursitis”)
Do you have pain along the outside of your thigh, right near that bony prominence that you can feel with your hands? (This bony prominence is your “greater tuberosity” in medical terms)
If so, you might just have hip bursitis, although known as “trochanteric bursitis”.
In this video, I’ll explain what hip bursitis is, as well as what causes it. I’ll also explain more about how the muscle tendons that attach to your greater tuberosity are often the cause of hip bursitis pain.
And in future videos, I’ll explain how to treat hip bursitis and achieve lasting hip pain relief.
I hope it helps!
