We all know that walking is good for our health. In fact, you probably have a fitness watch or a step counter app on your phone that measures how many steps you take each day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, certain disorders like bursitis can make walking painful. That\u2019s why people with this condition often wonder whether it\u2019s a good idea for them to walk and participate in other activities. Read on to find out.<\/span><\/p>\n Bursitis is a condition where your bursae become inflamed, causing pain. Bursae are fluid-filled sacs located in your joints, and their job is to reduce friction and cushion the bones so that they don\u2019t rub and damage each other.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Bursitis usually affects the hips, as these joints are responsible for many movements and bearing weight through our activities. As a result, you may feel pain, limited range of motion, and decreased strength in your pelvic area. In the beginning, your hip may feel a little stiff and achy, while in later stages, you may develop swelling or redness.<\/span><\/p>\n Pain typically becomes more intense during certain activities such as running or sitting for a prolonged period.<\/span><\/p>\n Bursitis can be caused by wear and tear when repetitive motions cause the inflammation of the bursae. That is common in runners and other athletes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Hip bursitis can develop due to a car accident or an injury. Some conditions such as diabetes, gout, and rheumatoid arthritis can also contribute to the onset of bursitis.<\/span><\/p>\n Being overweight and obese are risk factors for bursitis, as excessive weight increases the pressure on the hips and other joints.<\/span><\/p>\n Physical therapy is a go-to option for treating bursitis. Your therapist will conduct an initial assessment, and they will ask many questions about how your hip pain originates and what triggers it. After performing a physical exam and evaluating your condition, they\u2019ll discuss the treatment plan with you.<\/span><\/p>\n The goal is to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and increase the range of motion. By strengthening the muscles in the hip area, the pressure is removed from your joints and bursae, which can significantly improve your condition and restore normal mobility.<\/span><\/p>\n Your treatment may include:<\/span><\/p>\nWhat Is Bursitis?<\/b><\/h2>\n
