Why Strength Training Alone Won’t Fix Hip Impingement (And What Actually Will)
from Legacy Running · host Dr. Sarah | Doctor of Physical Therapy
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.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”Connect with me on Instagram or Facebook or my webisteInterested in working with me?
