Gluteal Tendinopathy

Brave AI: However, completely avoiding walking is not recommended, as tendons require some load to maintain health and strength, and inactivity can lead to muscle weakness and joint stiffness. The goal is to walk within a pain-free or minimally symptomatic range, where any discomfort settles within 24 hours. This is known as relative rest, which involves reducing walking volume or intensity to a level the tendons can tolerate, allowing them to heal before gradually increasing load.
