Right Hip Labral Tear… and Now My Left Hip Is Acting Up: Exactly What I’m Doing About It
About this episode
Dr. Sarah discusses her experience with a right hip labral tear and the emerging symptoms in her left hip, sharing her strategies for managing the situation as a runner and physical therapist.
In this episode, I’m sharing something very real: I have a known right-sided hip labral tear… and now my left hip is starting to feel eerily similar. Instead of spiraling, I’m walking you through exactly what I’m doing about it—from the mental strategies keeping me grounded, to the specific strength and single-leg stability work I’m maintaining, to the positional tweaks and cumulative load management that matter more than most runners realize. If you’ve ever feared “the other side” starting to hurt, are navigating bilateral hip symptoms, or are trying to keep running with a labral tear, this is a transparent, practical look at how I’m approaching it as both a runner and a physical therapist.
