Relieve Pain, Improve Stability, and Restore Strength-Without Injections or Surgery
Hip and gluteal injuries are often overlooked or misdiagnosed, but they can have a major impact on how you walk, stand, train, and even sleep. Whether you’re feeling a deep ache in the side of your hip, pain in the buttock, or nerve symptoms down the leg-there is a better way to recover.
At Optimum Movement Centre, we take a movement-based approach to hip and gluteal recovery. Using targeted exercises, MedX rehabilitation equipment, and expert guidance, we help you reduce pain, regain control, and avoid future flare-ups-naturally.
Common Hip & Gluteal Conditions We Help With
- Gluteus Medius Tendinopathy – a common cause of pain on the side of the hip, especially during walking, sleeping on one side, or climbing stairs. Often misdiagnosed as bursitis, this condition is due to overload or weakness of the gluteus medius muscle and its tendon.
- Piriformis Syndrome – pain deep in the buttock that may radiate down the leg due to the piriformis muscle irritating the sciatic nerve. It can mimic sciatica but is muscular in origin and treatable with the right movement program.
These conditions are usually caused by muscle imbalances, poor pelvic stability, or weak glutes. Rest and pain relief may help temporarily, but long-term recovery depends on retraining the body to move and load properly.
How OMC Supports Your Recovery
At OMC, we assess the root cause of your issue-not just the site of pain. Hip and gluteal problems often stem from weak or underactive muscles, instability in the pelvis, or compensations due to previous injury.
We’ll guide you through a personalised plan that includes:
- Strengthening glutes and stabilising muscles around the hip
- Improving posture, balance, and core control
- Training safe and efficient movement patterns
- Gradually increasing load and tolerance without flare-ups
Our calm, supportive environment and expert coaching make it easy to stay consistent and confident through your recovery journey.
MedX and Functional Training for Hip & Gluteal Stability
Our approach blends functional strength training with precision MedX equipment that targets the right muscles-safely and effectively.
✅ MedX Hip Abduction & Adduction
These machines directly strengthen the gluteus medius and inner thigh muscles, which play a key role in hip stability, pelvic alignment, and injury prevention. A must for anyone recovering from gluteal tendinopathy or chronic hip tightness.
✅ MedX Leg Press
Allows controlled strengthening of the glutes, hips, and legs with minimal joint stress. Ideal for rebuilding confidence in basic movements like squatting, standing, and stair climbing-all essential in daily life and sport.
✅ MedX Core and Torso Machines
Hip and glute function is directly linked to core strength. Our core-focused equipment trains deep stabilisers and improves rotational control, supporting better posture and movement efficiency across the whole body.
Real Recovery Without Medications or Surgery
Our team works with you to get real, lasting results. Whether you’re returning to training, walking pain-free, or avoiding surgery, we’ll help you recover and stay strong-without relying on short-term solutions like injections or rest alone.
