Hi. I Have Recently Pulled My Glute Muscle Or Atleast Strained It In My Left Buttock. Can I Please Get Information From Anyone That Has Had This Injury On How To Help Repair The Injury? I Am A Table Tennis Player And I Injured It Stretching For A Shot.

I like to do middle distance running throughout the summer and cannot run at the moment with the pain in my glute in my left buttock. Any suggestions to help repair this would be greatly appreciated

Hard lines. I twisted the insertion of the Glut. Maximus in April 2020.

Not a good time, I was offered a telephone physio appointment and the length of time which elapsed before I could get any real phsio. has made complete healing unlikely although now it is tolerable.

My first suggestion would be to see a good physio to get a proper diagnosis. 'Pain' covers a lot of problems.

First do the old R.I.C.E. to reduce inflammation. It's hard to elevate and compress of course. Try cold/heat treatment.

Then very gentle stretches - foot on bottom step of stairs and lean forwards etc.. You should be able to find these on line.

Good luck. Monthly phsio is now helping me, but I have an associated spine problem which the G.M. injury exacerbated.
