Why Strength Training Alone Won’t Fix Hip Impingement (And What Actually Will)
About this episode
Dr. Sarah discusses why strength training alone is insufficient for addressing hip impingement and related issues in runners.
If you’ve been told your hip pain just comes down to needing stronger glutes, this episode will give you a different perspective. I break down why strength training alone often isn’t enough for hip impingement, labral tears, or that deep, achy front-of-hip pain so many runners feel. We’ll talk through what’s actually happening in the hip, why these issues develop over time, and the key pieces most runners are missing like mobility, movement patterns, training volume, and even daily habits. If you’ve been working hard but still feel stuck, this will help you take a more strategic approach to getting back to running with confidence.
