Summary

In this episode, Dr. Sarah, a specialized PT, discusses her work with women and hip issues. She owns Legacy Rehab and Performance, where she provides virtual performance coaching and physical therapy for women runners with hip pain. Sarah explains her 3D method of discovering, developing, and deploying a personalized plan for each client. She also addresses common issues like IT band syndrome and labral tears, emphasizing the importance of strength and coordination in preventing and rehabilitating injuries. Sarah is also a running coach a runner herself. Sarah recommends incorporating compound lifts like back squats and deadlifts, as well as accessory exercises like hip airplanes and planks. She suggests aiming for 2-3 strength training sessions per week, but acknowledges that even 1 session can be beneficial.

She shares information about her membership program, the Empowered Runners Club, which provides resources and support for runners. The conversation concludes with Sarah sharing the worst advice she's heard (squeezing butt cheeks while running) and the best advice she's received (enjoy the process and have fun).
