In today's episode we go over Evidence-Based Treatment of Gluteal Tendinopathy (For Rehab Professionals) - FPF Show Episode 186
There’s a lot of outdated and conflicting advice around gluteal tendinopathy — and much of it isn’t supported by current research.
In this video, I break down:
👍 What the research actually supports for rehab
👍 Why complete rest and passive care often fail
👍 How progressive loading fits into tendon recovery
👍 Practical implications for real-world patients
👍 What to do when convervative treatment fails
This isn’t a research lecture — it’s a clinically relevant breakdown designed to help rehab professionals apply the evidence more effectively.
