In this episode, I walk you through the plyometric exercises that ACTUALLY moved the needle for one of my marathon clients dealing with hip pain while training for CIM and trying to Boston Qualify. We start with where she was getting stuck—long runs with speed work, faster efforts, and lingering hip irritation despite already having a strong foundation—then dive into the exact progression we used to improve her hip control, landing mechanics, and confidence at faster speeds. I break down how I sequence plyometric training for runners, from simple skater hops and force absorption drills to faster reactive work, plus the warm-up and training adjustments that helped her finally feel strong during speed sessions again. Apply for the EmpowHER Hip Program Here: https://legacyrehabandperformance.com/empowher-hip-program-october-cohortBack Series Post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DXHtJR5iUvS/Get More From Dr. Sarah aka "The Hip Doc"Free Hip Mobility GuideFree Strength Plan for Runners Free “6 Ways to Ease Hip Pain Guide”

In this episode, I walk you through a real client story and the exact back exercises that helped her break out of the run → flare-up → rest cycle. We start with what was going on and what she had been trying, then dive into where things weren’t clicking and the shift that actually moved the needle. I also share how we built her back training step-by-step—from simple activation to strength and heavier lifts—so you can see what actually helped her feel more comfortable, confident, and consistent with running again.Apply for the EmpowHER Hip Program Here: https://legacyrehabandperformance.com/empowher-hip-program-october-cohortBack Series Post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DXHtJR5iUvS/Get More From Dr. Sarah aka "The Hip Doc"Free Hip Mobility GuideFree Strength Plan for Runners Free “6 Ways to Ease Hip Pain Guide”

If you’ve been doing all the “right” glute exercises but your hip still feels tight or pinchy, this episode will shift your perspective. I break down a real client case (2 years post labral repair) who was strong and consistent, yet still in pain—and the exact changes we made to get her back to running 3–4 days per week comfortably. We dive into why more glute activation wasn’t the answer, how too much tension can hold you back, and the progression we used to restore mobility, build strength through full range, and return to impact with confidence.Apply for the EmpowHER Hip Program Here: https://legacyrehabandperformance.com/empowher-hip-program-october-cohortGlute Series Post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DW1ourCFJ3p/?img_index=1Get More From Dr. Sarah aka "The Hip Doc"Free Hip Mobility GuideFree Strength Plan for Runners Free “6 Ways to Ease Hip Pain Guide”

In this episode, I walk you through a real client story and the exact core exercises that finally helped her break through hip pain and feel confident running again. We start with her background and assessment findings, then dive into what we tried, where she got stuck, and the key shift that made the biggest difference. I also break down how I approach core training step-by-step—from sequencing and coordination to endurance, strength, and eventually more dynamic work—so you can understand what actually matters (and what doesn’t) when you’re trying to move forward after a labral tear or hip injury.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”

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?

If you’ve had hip pain, it can feel like summer running just isn’t for you but that’s not the full story. In this episode, I’m breaking down how to actually prepare your body starting right now so you can run more consistently and confidently this summer. We’ll cover the 3 things that matter most: building a strong, runner specific foundation, getting honest about your current volume not what you used to do, and rebuilding confidence after injury. I’ll also walk you through how to map out the next few months so you’re not guessing your way into flare ups but instead building toward a summer of strong, enjoyable miles.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?

Media is full of running advice and “hip fixes,” but not all of it actually helps runners stay healthy long term. In this episode, Dr. Sarah breaks down several popular running and wellness trends she’s seeing online that frustrate her the most—from banded glute routines being called strength training to racing untrained and relying on pain-relief medications during training. She explains why these trends can hold runners back and what actually helps build strong, resilient hips so you can run with confidence again.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?

In this episode, I’m sharing something very real: I have a known right-sided hip labral tear… and now my left hip is starting to feel eerily similar. Instead of spiraling, I’m walking you through exactly what I’m doing about it—from the mental strategies keeping me grounded, to the specific strength and single-leg stability work I’m maintaining, to the positional tweaks and cumulative load management that matter more than most runners realize. If you’ve ever feared “the other side” starting to hurt, are navigating bilateral hip symptoms, or are trying to keep running with a labral tear, this is a transparent, practical look at how I’m approaching it as both a runner and a physical therapist.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?

Told to stop running, avoid impact, or just keep “strengthening your glutes”? This episode walks through a different path. I break down how runners actually move from hip diagnosis to consistent mileage and big goals using a simple Discover → Develop → Deploy framework.

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. Info on upcoming LIVE trainings here! https://legacyrehabandperformance.com/grow-your-glutes-registrationGet 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?

In this episode, I’m joined by hip specialist Dr. Jenna Loewer for a deep dive into one of the most misunderstood diagnoses runners face: hip impingement. We break down what “structural” vs. “functional” impingement really mean, why scary imaging rarely tells the full story, and the movement patterns that keep so many active women stuck in pain. Jenna shares common coordination issues, why hypermobility is often overlooked, how to manage flare-ups without spiraling, and the phases she uses to help clients return to confident running and performance. If you’ve ever been told your hips are “just built this way,” this episode offers clarity—and real hope.Connect with Dr. Jenna Loewer Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjennaloewer/Email:  [email protected]: www.onpointewellness.com Apply for the January 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?

She shares real client stories, her own experience with setbacks, and the behind-the-scenes thinking she uses when helping runners navigate flare-ups without spiraling or giving up. You’ll hear how stress, travel, posture, training load, and life all play a role, why awareness is often the most powerful first step, and how having a simple “rescue plan” can restore a sense of control and confidence when things feel off.

In this episode, Dr. Sarah is joined by occupational therapist and nervous system coach Jessica Addeo to explore how the nervous system influences hip pain, stress, and recovery—especially for runners. They break down what nervous system regulation actually is, why running is such a powerful regulator, and what happens when injury or life stress takes that outlet away. You’ll learn how sensory input, sleep, hormones, and emotional load can all drive pain flare-ups, along with practical strategies to support your system during recovery.

In this episode, Dr. Sarah sits down with nutrition coach Lisa Franz for a refreshingly honest discussion about the foundations most active women skip — and why those basics matter more than any trendy diet or “perfect” routine. Together, they unpack Lisa’s journey from restrictive eating to true food freedom, why protein and tracking matter (but not forever), tips to fuel during injury, the real reasons strength training works, and why progressive overload and deload weeks are non-negotiable for long-term performance.
