    FEB 8

    Hip Impingement, Labral Tears, Dysplasia: A Different Approach to Getting Back to Running

    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. We talk confidence, flare-ups, strength that actually transfers to running, and how to bridge the gap between finishing PT and truly training again.

  3. The Top Myths You’re Believing About Growing Your Glutes (and Why They’re Keeping You in Hip Pain)

    FEB 1

    The Top Myths You’re Believing About Growing Your Glutes (and Why They’re Keeping You in Hip Pain)

    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-registration Get More From Dr. Sarah aka "The Hip Doc" Free Hip Mobility Guide Free Strength Plan for Runners  Free “6 Ways to Ease Hip Pain Guide” Connect with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or my webiste Interested in working with me?

    What Doesn’t Work for Hip Pain Anymore (Heading Into 2026)

    Hip pain isn’t fixed by lifting heavier, resting longer, or waiting for flare-ups to pass. In this episode, Dr. Sarah breaks down what doesn’t work for hip pain anymore as we head into 2026. You’ll learn why strength training alone falls short, how to manage flare-ups without losing momentum, and why addressing the mental side of pain matters for long-term progress. If you’ve been doing everything “right” and still feel stuck, this episode will help you rethink your approach and move forward with clarity and confidence.

    5 Ideas That Actually Make a Difference in Getting Out of Hip Pain

    Hip pain isn’t solved by one stretch, one exercise, or a perfect rehab checklist. In this episode, Dr. Sarah shares five core ideas that actually help runners get out of hip pain—and stay there. You’ll learn why pain is multifactorial, how movement patterns, stress, awareness, and progressive training all influence symptoms, and why long-term success comes from understanding your body rather than chasing quick fixes. If you’re tired of doing “all the right things” without lasting relief, this episode will help you rethink recovery and move forward with clarity and confidence.

    Hip Impingement, Labral Tears & Movement Myths with Dr. Jenna Loewer

    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.

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.
