How a Physical Therapist Rebuilt Her Running Despite Hip Dysplasia and a Labral Tear

In this episode, I sit down with Taylor—a physical therapist who went from being active and pain-free to navigating hip pain, a labral tear, and an unexpected diagnosis of hip dysplasia in her mid-20s. Even with her background in PT, she found herself stuck in the same frustrating cycle of doing all the “right” things without real progress. We walk through how she shifted from confusion and setbacks to building a clear, structured plan that actually worked—helping her regain strength, confidence, and consistency with running. Now she’s back to running multiple days per week, lifting with purpose, and signing up for races again. If you’ve ever felt stuck or unsure what to do next with your hip pain, this episode will show you what’s actually possible.Apply for the EmpowHER Hip Program Here: https://legacyrehabandperformance.com/empowher-hip-program-october-cohortGet More From Dr. Sarah aka "The Hip Doc"Free Hip Mobility GuideFree Strength Plan for Runners Free “6 Ways to Ease Hip Pain Guide”
