In this session Duane is talking about hip pain in runners and some simple things you can do to address it, improve it and keep it from getting worse.
Here is an outline of the hip questions we discussed:
Although “hip pain in runners” is a huge topic, what are the top 3 most common causes of hip pain in runners?
I know you personally had to recover from hip pain caused by a labral tear.
What exactly is the labrum and how does it get injured in runners?
How did you tear your labrum?
What was your first indication that something was wrong with your hip? What did it feel like?
If someone is listening to this right now if somebody has just suggested that maybe they have a labral tear what is the number one indication that somebody has a tear of the labrum and should seek medical attention before continuing to run?
When you tore your labrum an orthopedic surgeon told you that you should not be running on a treadmill. How are treadmills bad for labral tears ?
I know you started the Healthy Runner Podcast because you felt like there was a gap between medical professionals and the recipients of healthcare. Tell me more about that and how you think the podcast like yours can actually help close that gap.
I know you have taught as a professor at a school of physical therapy and I’m wondering how it is that you think that experience of teaching other doctors, other physical therapists about physical therapy helps you better understand patients and how to help injured runners better.
I know your entire mission and mission of your podcast is to help runners prevent running injuries and avoid getting injured in the first place. If you could only offer three pieces of advice to a runner, what would you say are the top three tips for preventing and overtraining injury?
Let’s talk about hip tightness versus hip weakness.
How does joint laxity or hip instability contribute to hip injuries and is strengthening something that can address it and help an injured runner prevent the re-injury?
What about the other side of that equation? What about when your hips are too tight? How does that contribute to hip injuries in runners like labral tears? And what can we do about it?
If you could only had 10 minutes a day to strengthen a runner’s hips, what exercises would you give them to do to become more stable and more injury-resistant?
If you could only recommend 3 stretches, which ones do you think would have the most power in overtraining injury prevention for runners?
