About this episode

The episode discusses a woman's journey through multiple healthcare providers to overcome hip pain and return to running.

After seeing 10 different healthcare providers over several years, she still couldn't consistently run without hip pain. She had tried chiropractic care, massage, acupuncture, traditional physical therapy, and was beginning to wonder if surgery was her only option. In this episode, she shares what finally helped her stop chasing random solutions and start building back to running with confidence. We dive into the mindset shifts, strategic strength training, graded return to running, flare-up management, and accountability that helped her get back to doing what she loves. If you've finished rehab but still don't feel like you're truly back to running, this episode is for you.
