The Real Reason Your Lateral Hip Pain Won’t Go Away

You stretch, foam roll, rest, and ice, but the pain on the outside of your hip keeps coming back. It’s frustrating and confusing, especially when you feel like you’re doing everything right.
Lateral hip pain doesn’t always come from one obvious cause. In fact, the source is often deeper than the glutes or IT band you’ve been targeting.
