Through appropriate exercises, the treating therapist can develop an individual training program tailored to the patient. In general, bursitis of the hip is a rather uncomplicated disease, provided it is recognized and treated in time. For affected patients, discipline and motivation in taking the medication and the subsequent physiotherapeutic treatment are essential so that pain is quickly relieved and they can continue to pursue their sports activities.
