Hip and Glute Pain: Why it Happens and How to Feel Better

Why Hip & Glute Pain Happens

If your hips or glutes feel tight or achy, you’re definitely not alone. Sitting for long hours, certain exercises, or even the way we stand can make these areas work overtime. Eventually, they start to complain — especially when we sit, walk, or climb stairs.

How Massage Can Help

When these muscles tighten up, everything from bending down to taking a long walk can feel a bit off. Remedial massage works on those deeper areas of tension to help things soften and move more freely again.

Many people find they feel lighter and more comfortable after a session, and regular treatments can help stop that tight, “stuck” feeling from creeping back in.

Simple Things You Can Try at Home

A few small habits can help your hips and glutes feel better day-to-day:

• Try gentle hip and glute stretches — nothing forced, just slow and easy.

• If you sit for long periods, aim to stand up and move every hour to prevent stiffness.

• Use a tennis ball or gentle self-massage to ease sore spots if it feels good for you.

Tight hips and glutes can make sitting, walking, or stairs uncomfortable. Remedial massage targets these areas, combined with gentle stretches from our Stretching & Mobility Tips blog that is to come.
