Historically, pain localised to the outside of the thigh was hypothesised to be caused by inflammation of the trochanteric bursae.

As you start exercising, it is common to go too hard too soon, which increases the risk of injury. These have typically been called ‘overload’ injuries, whereas it’s more likely that your tissues (muscles, tendons and bones) are under prepared for the spike in exercise. Therefore, we monitor ‘workload’ to help minimise injury risk and safely achieve your exercise goal.

Vertigo is often described as a sensation where either you or your surroundings seem to be moving without any actual motion.
