My Core Back Protocol combines principles from Physical Therapy, Pilates, Yoga, mobility, and progressive strengthening to help you build a stronger foundation. 👉 Book a FREE One-on-One Coaching Consultation: WHY DOES MY HIP HURT WHEN I SLEEP ON MY SIDE? Side sleeping places direct pressure on the outside of the hip. For some people, this can make an already sensitive area more uncomfortable—especially around the greater trochanter, where several important muscles and tendons attach. Persistent pain on the outside of the hip can sometimes be associated with conditions such as gluteal tendinopathy or greater trochanteric pain syndrome, but hip pain can have many different causes. That's why we don't want to assume every painful hip simply needs to be stretched. Your symptoms may also be influenced by factors such as: ✓ Gluteus medius and minimus weakness ✓ Hip and pelvic stability ✓ Previous injuries ✓ Hip mobility ✓ Sleeping position ✓ Mattress and pillow support ✓ Tendon sensitivity ✓ Arthritis or other joint conditions Understanding what is contributing to your symptoms is important. 🛌 YOUR SLEEPING POSITION MATTERS When you're lying on your side, your hips and legs aren't always perfectly aligned.

My workout area is a multi purpose room. The TV mounted high on the wall is convenient for casting videos etc from my phone. Another bonus is that it can be kept relatively cool for exercising. I have never been a heat lover so this suits me very well. There is a closet nearby to store my workout accessories.
