RTTC #153 The Often Forgotten Parts About a Healed Injury

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali dives into the often-overlooked side of injuries: what happens after the bone, tendon, or muscle technically heals. Using real-life examples, from a TV show storyline to her own childhood injury and even ACL and stress fracture cases, she explains the concept of sequelae, the chain reaction of weakness, tightness, and compensations that follow an injury. You’ll learn why lingering pain, stiffness, or new issues in your back, hips, or shoulders are common after being in a cast, brace, or boot, and how to prevent them with the right strategies.Dr. Ali shares why physical therapy matters long after the initial injury is “fixed,” and how small adjustments like using an Even Up or maintaining strength in other areas can keep you from developing bigger setbacks down the road. This episode is all about giving yourself grace, knowing what to watch for, and taking proactive steps so you can truly return to running strong. 6 week Speed ProgramReady to stop panicking about how far ahead of the balloon ladies you are and start actually stopping for character photos?
