The Back Exercises That Actually Moved the Needle for My Client’s Labral Tear

About this episode

Dr. Sarah shares a client story detailing back exercises that helped overcome a labral tear and improve running consistency.

In this episode, I walk you through a real client story and the exact back exercises that helped her break out of the run → flare-up → rest cycle. We start with what was going on and what she had been trying, then dive into where things weren’t clicking and the shift that actually moved the needle. I also share how we built her back training step-by-step—from simple activation to strength and heavier lifts—so you can see what actually helped her feel more comfortable, confident, and consistent with running again.
