The full four-stage programme for pain on the outside of the hip — the compression rules that settle it, the loading that fixes it, and the carries that keep it fixed.
Read this if: your pain is a specific sore point on the bony bump on the outside of your hip, hurts to lie on at night, and is worse on stairs, hills and standing on one leg. This is not a diagnosis — if that does not describe your pain, start with the hip baseline or get assessed.
