    Episode 25: Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and hip labrum tears in runners - Lindsey Plass

    On this week’s episode of the Ready to Run Podcast, we have the pleasure of meeting with Lindsey Plass to discuss femoroacetabular impingement (otherwise known as FAI) and hip labrum tears in runners. Lindsey is a Chicago-based physical therapist, performance coach, author, and international speaker. Lindsey is a former college soccer player turned 10-time marathoner and triathlete. She completed an orthopedic physical therapy residency and manual therapy fellowship making her a board certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist and Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual therapists.  It was her own lived experience, nearly 10 years ago, with hip pain related to FAI and a labral tear that sparked her interest in helping others with hip issues getting back to doing the things they love.  She is a clinician and coach and owner of Plass Physical Therapy and Performance. She is currently faculty in the University of Chicago Medicine Orthopedic Physical Therapy Residency and University of Chicago Manual Physical Therapy Fellowship. In 2021, Lindsey was invited to be a part of the international Young Athlete’s Hip Research Collaboration led by Dr. Henrik (Paul) Dijkstra who is the Director of Medical Education at Aspetar. Lindsey was also invited as an expert clinician panel member of the 2022 Oxford University Young Adult Hip Consensus meeting, where she represented physical therapists internationally.  We are excited to share her wealth of knowledge and expertise in how to recognize and manage these injuries with the best current evidence. Let’s get ready to run with Lindsey Plass!

    In this episode, we meet with Dan King who is a US masters runner from Boulder, CO. Dan is an accomplished runner and currently holds the world record in the 60-64 age group in the mile with a time of 4:49:08 set in 2020. He discusses how he overcame a years long history of recurring plantar fasciitis and calf strains which led to his unique training regimen focusing on high volume cross training and Easy Interval Method running. His training methods and plant-based lifestyle have led to his success and longevity in running as a world class masters athlete, and he shares some great advice for the person who has the goal of being a lifelong runner. Let’s get ready to run with masters runner and cross training king – Dan King!

    Episode 23: Not so Simple Ankle Injuries

    While most runners return to sport following an acute ankle sprain without complications, not all ankle sprains are simple. In this episode, we'll discuss an example case to demonstrate several important considerations for someone with chronic ankle instability. This includes a discussion on the most common causes of persistent ankle pain including cartilage injuries, peroneal tendinopathy, posterior tibialis tendinopathy, and recurring sprains. We'll break down some of the alterations in movement patterns seen after ankle sprain, physical exam pearls, and rehabilitation plan. If you've ever had an ankle injury that has taken a long time to heal then you'll want to check out this episode and explore the main reasons why runners can end up with ankle instability and what you can do to break the cycle of injury.Show notes: 3:30 - What is chronic ankle instability? 4:00- Key findings from 2016 consensus statement on lateral ankle sprains 6:40- Common causes of persisting ankle pain 11:10- Why is it important to manage ankle sprains early on?  25:50- Pathomechanical impairments following an ankle sprain 30:30- Alterations in joint forces and movement patterns  31:50- Effect of loss of range of motion 38:00- Too much supination on landing 42:00- Assessment and physical exam pearls 45:00- Rehab programming  References: Cho JH, et al.
