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.
