The Hip Condition Affecting 1 in 4 Women After Menopause — That 70% of Doctors Have Never Heard Of

You've probably already noticed that your hip pain is making your daily life much more difficult — or maybe it's affecting your partner too, being woken up every time you shift in bed.

And here are other ways it may be impacting your life:

• You can't sleep on your side no matter how many pillows you try
• Stairs have become something you dread and plan around
• You wake up with that deep, burning outer hip ache that doesn't improve until midday
• You feel dismissed by doctors who keep calling it "just arthritis"
• You've spent money on treatments that didn't work — or made things worse

We know this because gluteal tendinopathy affects 1 in 4 women after menopause — and 70% of physicians have never been trained to identify it. If you've been told it's arthritis, there's a strong chance you've been misdiagnosed.

There are dozens of "solutions" that promise relief yet underdeliver.

From cortisone injections and physiotherapy… to collagen supplements and pain medications… to special pillows and "menopause exercises"…

But if it was really possible to fix this with physiotherapy and supplements, why are so many women still suffering?

First, you need to understand what's actually happening inside your hip.

When estrogen drops during menopause, collagen production falls by up to 40% within the first five years. Your gluteal tendons — which never rest, stabilising every single step you take — can no longer keep up with their own repair.

Think of a bridge that has carried heavy traffic for decades. Suddenly, the maintenance budget is cut by 40%. It doesn't collapse immediately — it starts with microscopic cracks. Then slightly larger ones. Then one day, it fails.

That is exactly what is happening inside your hip right now. And here's the cruelest part: your gluteal tendons attach precisely at the bone point you sleep on, sit on, and balance on every day. Every position that should give you rest instead presses directly onto the most damaged spot.

Great question. And the answer is: not if the cellular machinery can't keep up.

When your tendons lack collagen-producing capacity, controlled exercise doesn't trigger repair — it triggers further damage. You're tearing fibres faster than your body can heal them. This is why so many women find that physio either doesn't help or actually makes things worse.

None of these failed because you didn't try hard enough. They failed because every single one was designed for a different problem, in a different body, at a different hormonal stage of life.

The real problem was never addressed: your tendons lost the cellular energy to heal themselves. And without restoring that energy at the source, no surface-level treatment was ever going to work.

In 2020, our research team at the Alorament Institute was studying cellular energy production in post-menopausal tendon tissue when we observed something that stopped us completely.

When we exposed damaged gluteal tendon cells to specific wavelengths of light, they began producing collagen again — at levels comparable to pre-menopausal tissue.

The mechanism was elegant: certain wavelengths of light directly stimulate mitochondrial activity — the energy-producing machinery inside every cell. When estrogen drops, this cellular machinery essentially powers down. The light recharges the batteries. And once recharged, the cells remember how to heal.

But there was a significant problem. Gluteal tendons sit 2 centimetres beneath layers of skin, fat, and muscle. Standard red light devices penetrate approximately 1 centimetre at most. They were physically incapable of reaching the target tissue.

It took two more years and forty-one prototypes to solve this problem. The breakthrough came from combining three specific wavelengths in a calibrated sequence — each one preparing the tissue for the next.

When we finally tested the triple-wavelength protocol, one participant — Anna, 65, who was six weeks from surgery — called our clinic at 6am after her second week of treatment. "I woke up on my left side. My bad side. I've been trying to sleep on it for two years. It didn't hurt."

By week eight, ten of our twelve trial participants had cancelled or postponed their scheduled surgeries.

We're not talking about MADs here — this is a different mechanism entirely. But the parallel is useful: just as MADs address snoring at the root cause (jaw position), Alorament Flex addresses gluteal tendinopathy at the root cause — cellular energy deficit in the tendon itself.

The difference is that no one had built a device that could actually reach the gluteal tendons through 2cm of tissue — until now.

Alorament Flex is a flexible medical-grade hip brace developed by the Alorament Institute that delivers three precisely calibrated wavelengths of light therapy directly to your gluteal tendons.

You wrap it around your hip, press one button, and wear it for 20 minutes. That's it. Most women use it while reading or watching television in the evening.

It is completely adjustable, hands-free, and engineered specifically for the anatomical depth of post-menopausal gluteal tendon tissue.

This is not red light therapy in the general sense. This is a precisely calibrated sequence designed specifically for the anatomical depth and biological needs of post-menopausal gluteal tendon tissue. No other device on the market was built to reach this depth. No other device was designed for this condition.

From our 12-week independent clinical trial — 127 women, ages 45–65:

Average pain score dropped from 7.2 to 2.1 on a 10-point scale. These results lasted — because we were not masking pain. We were rebuilding tissue.

This is the most important part.

Our business advisors calculated that given the R&D investment, clinical trial costs, precision manufacturing requirements, and the fact that this is the only device of its kind — we should price Alorament Flex at a minimum of €1,400.

We set the regular price at €360. Because I have sat across from too many women who were told to simply accept this as their new life. Every woman who needs this deserves access to it.

But that's not what you have to pay today.

Addressing your gluteal tendinopathy is much more important than just ending the pain.

• It stops the degeneration before tendon rupture becomes inevitable
• It restores the sleep quality that chronic pain has stolen from you
• It gives you back the mobility that defines your independence
• It removes surgery from the equation — with its 38% failure rate and 6-month recovery
• You can say goodbye to cortisone, supplements, and treatments that were never going to work

And now with such an affordable solution, and a completely risk-free 90-day guarantee, there's no reason not to try it.
