How to Actually Decrease Hip Pain (Labral Tear, Impingement, Dysplasia)

About this episode

Dr. Sarah discusses effective strategies to manage and decrease hip pain for women runners.

If you’ve been told your hip pain is just weak glutes or core—or that you need an injection or surgery—this episode will challenge that. I’m walking you through the framework I use with women runners to navigate hip pain and get back to running with confidence. From understanding what’s going on, to adjusting training, to building strength that actually carries over—this is about giving you direction so you can stop guessing and start moving forward.
