Hip osteoarthritis can be challenging to manage, but research shows that strengthening the gluteus medius and minimus can help reduce pain and improve joint function. Here’s why:
- Weak gluteus medius contributes to hip joint instability, increasing stress and discomfort.
- Strengthening hip abductors improves pelvic alignment and gait mechanics, reducing pain and joint load.
