My right hip has bothered me for a couple of years now. It only bothers me especially when I run, but also causes some pain if I deadlift or squat heavy.

The pain seems muscular rather than in the joint. When it hurts it is usually in the upper right part of my glute and over on the side as well. I had a PT do some SI manipulation, and he gave me some exercises such as a piriformis stretch but it does not seem to help.

I have a feeling it due to a muscle imbalance but I am not real sure what to do. I also spend a lot of time in my car and I have wondered if all that riding could contribute to the problem.

Any ideas?
