There are many causes of glute tendinopathy

Glute tendinopathy is usually caused by overuse, typically due to activities that involve repetitive motion such as running or jumping. Other factors contributing to this condition include excess body weight, tight tissues, bone malformations, and poor stretching techniques. In some cases, it can be triggered by trauma such as a fall or motor vehicle accident. Treatment of this condition involves rest and avoidance of aggravating activities if possible. Physiotherapy, ranging from strengthening exercises to neuromuscular release techniques, may also be recommended to reduce pain and help improve mobility. Careful observation of activity levels and caution have been identified as key components for successful recovery from glute tendinopathy.
