How it works
Hip abductor strengthening reduces iliotibial band tension on the trochanteric bursa. Rotator cuff and scapular strengthening reduces subacromial bursal compression. Corrects the biomechanical cause.
Physiotherapy is essential for preventing recurrence — addressing only the inflammation without the mechanical cause leads to recurrence. Medicare-rebated under GPMP.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
