The Top Myths You’re Believing About Growing Your Glutes (and Why They’re Keeping You in Hip Pain)
from Legacy Running · host Dr. Sarah | Doctor of Physical Therapy
Podcast Description: You’ve been told to squeeze, thrust, band, and burn your glutes to fix your hip pain — and honestly, it might be making things worse. In this episode, I break down the biggest myths women runners believe about growing glute strength, especially after increased hip pain. We talk about why squeezing and banded work often backfire, why squatting past 90° isn’t the enemy, what actually counts as real strength (and what doesn’t), and why lifting heavier alone doesn’t magically make pain disappear.
