[Download] The Ultimate Recovery Guide for Runners

Does your hip pain disappear with rest… only to return a few miles into your next run?

You are not alone.

In this episode, Dr. Duane Scotti sits down with physical therapist, run coach, and hip specialist Dr. Sarah from Legacy Rehab and Performance to break down why hip pain is so common in women runners and why traditional advice like rest and stretching often fails.

You will learn:

- The top reasons hip pain keeps coming back in women runners

- Why stretching alone does not fix the real problem

- How hip, core, and glute strength influence running mechanics

- The key strength categories women runners need (heavy compound, unilateral, and stability work)

- Simple tests to know if you are truly ready to return to running

- Red flags that mean you are progressing too fast

If you are stuck in the cycle of resting, returning, and re-injuring your hip, this episode will give you a clearer, smarter path forward so you can rebuild strength, run with confidence, and stay healthy for the long run.
