Lateral hip pain is important for runners and staying ahead of overuse injurys up and down the chain 😃

The side plank with a leg lift is a great way to bullet proof that outside musculature. However, it is an extrememly challenging exercise 😓

Check out these modifications to work up to a full side plank leg lift!

1. Modified side plank + leg lift 💁‍♀️
2. Modified side plank + rainbow taps 🌈

Don’t forget about your pogo jumps!👀

Running is about elastic recoil - how well can your tendon absorb energy and then quickly disperse it to propel you forward ⏩

Pogo jumps will help train this aspect and prepare you to handle the demands of running.

⬆️ Above are 3 different variations we use with people in our clinic. Each variation is performed for 2-3 sets of 30-60 seconds 👍

More often than not, your body will feel better after an active recovery day, rather than a complete rest day 🧘‍♀️

Especially this time of year, complete rest days may involve binging a show on the couch or hunching over a device doomscrolling. This can lead you to feeling even more stiff and sore 😩

🥲 We can do it better!

Try these more productive ways to help your body get ready for the next workout:

1️⃣ Foam rolling or massage gunning. Increase blood flow to target tissues, to bring nutrients and oxygen and carry away waste.
2️⃣ Yoga or stretching. Reduce your muscles’/brain’s resistance to movement with targeted stretching of problematic areas.
3️⃣ Isometric holds. Holding a position without actually moving any bones around can help cranky muscles and especially tendons calm down. We recommend 5 sets of 45 seconds, with 2 min rest between.

If you said yes to any of the above. You are likely dealing with a pelvic floor issue! 🤔

Oftentimes women don’t connect their symptoms with a pelvic floor problem. If you have been dealing with any of the above symptoms your pelvic floor may be contributing 🌸

👍 Reach out to your local pelvic floor therapist to get help and see relief!

When we are having any sort of pain often our first instinct is to stop running 😫

👍 If the pain is coming from a tendon then you can keep running as long as you check the boxes below. We want to keep running if possible to prevent detraining!

Don’t get us wrong—true rest days are crucial for mental and physical wellness. However, not every “recovery” day needs to be a rest day 🤨

💪 Many of us who participate in high-intensity sports requiring speed and power (e.g. sprinting, snatching a bunch of weight overhead) have a hard time not going full-send on every workout. But high-power efforts rely in part on phosphocreatine (allows you to sustain those efforts) and how efficiently ATP can be resynthesized through aerobic pathways.

Higher volumes of lower-intensity work stimulate capillary development. More capillaries —> improved oxygen delivery and faster ATP resynthesis, which supports phosphocreatine recovery 🙂‍↕️

In sum, you can improve your high-intensity, high-power performance by swapping in some lower-intensity workouts.

Why Physical Therapy Needs More Than Just Pain Relief

Good physical therapy isn’t just about feeling better—it’s about staying better.

The most successful rehab follows a simple 3-step process:
1️⃣ Reduce pain
2️⃣ Address the root cause
3️⃣ Prevent recurrence

When therapy stops after pain improves, injuries often return once activity picks back up. That’s why long-term success requires rebuilding strength, movement quality, and capacity beyond everyday demands.

Our latest blog breaks down how this 3-step approach helps people return to unrestricted activity—and stay there.
