Physiotherapy (Hip and Shoulder Bursitis)
for Bursitis
Physiotherapy addresses the mechanical contributors to bursitis — typically weakness of adjacent muscles that increases bursal compression — through targeted strengthening and movement re-education.
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.
What to watch for
Physiotherapy is essential for preventing recurrence — addressing only the inflammation without the mechanical cause leads to recurrence. Medicare-rebated under GPMP.
