Runner's Hip & Groin Pain: The Low Back Connection (Achilles Too!)

Welcome back to the movement movement! Your host, Dr. Mandy – a runner herself and a specialist in treating ultra, trail, and all distance runners – shares insights from years of experience. Today, she delves into two compelling case studies with a common thread: both runners presented with hip and groin pain, but also had secondary Achilles tendinitis. The first runner, 'Mia,' a fast track specialist (1500m/5k) in her 20s, experienced Achilles pain that switched sides, especially during speed work and when wearing spikes. The second, a non-elite but Boston-qualifying marathoner in his early 40s, also had hip/groin issues. Dr. Mandy reveals that for both, the primary hip and groin pain was actually referred pain from the low back, responding quickly to treatment. Tune in to learn about this crucial connection and gain valuable understanding into common runner's complaints!
