Understanding Lateral Hip Pain: Causes, Treatment, and Long-Term Solutions with Dr. Alison Grimaldi

Lateral hip pain is frustrating, persistent, and often misunderstood. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Alison Grimaldi, a leading expert in hip rehabilitation, to break down what causes pain at the side of the hip, why it’s so common in female runners, and how to manage it effectively. We dive into key topics like the difference between hip joint, tendon, and back-related pain, why common stretches might be making things worse, and the real role of glute strength in both prevention and recovery. Dr. Grimaldi also shares practical tips on modifying training, improving movement patterns, and small daily changes that can make a big impact on long-term hip health.
