From Hip Pain to Healing: Dr. Sam’s Journey to Rebuilding Strength and Confidence

In this episode of the Legacy Running Podcast, Dr. Sarah sits down with Dr. Sam (@docsammoves), founder of Unleashed Athletics, to unpack her powerful journey from chronic hip and ankle pain to running a half marathon—without surgery. Dr. Sam shares how years of instability, under-fueling, and frustration with traditional PT led her to create a more holistic, empowering model of care for women. Together, they explore the missing links in rehab—nutrition, strength, mindset, and aerobic capacity—and how reframing flare-ups as feedback can help women reclaim control over their recovery. This honest, hopeful conversation shines a light on what’s possible when you combine science with self-trust.Connect with Dr. Samwork with Dr. Sam:https://unleashedathletics.co/instagram:https://www.instagram.com/docsammoves/Get More From Dr. Sarah aka "The Hip Doc"Free Hip Mobility Guide Free Strength Plan for Runners Free “6 Ways to Ease Hip Pain Guide”Connect with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or my webisteInterested in working with me?
