About this episode

This episode discusses the overlooked aspects of returning to running after a hip injury, focusing on factors beyond physical exercises.

When you're recovering from a labral tear, hip impingement, hip dysplasia, or hip surgery, most of the conversation revolves around exercises, strength, and running progression. But some of the biggest factors influencing your recovery have nothing to do with your sets and reps. In this episode, I'm breaking down the often-overlooked pieces of the return-to-run process, including your nervous system, daily habits, and beliefs around pain and movement. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything "right" but still struggling to build confidence, consistency, or mileage, this episode will help you understand the parts of recovery that no one talks about.
