Hello,

As this sounds like a weakness of the hip muscles which aren't capable enough to take the load of the body over it while sitting. I will advise you to use the Piles pillow when sitting for long in a chair. This will distribute the pressure of the body and avoid excessive stress over the muscles. Also, doing exercises to improve the strength in the core and hip Muscles will be beneficial to avoid this pain in future too.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
