• Spotting the Right Pro: Your Guide to Choosing a Healthcare Provider
    Dec 29 2025

    Welcome to the Restoring Human Movement podcast! Thanks for joining the movement movement. I'm Dawne, and whether this is your first time or you're returning, we're glad you're here. Don't forget, we have tons of videos on YouTube and other recordings on this podcast platform covering many areas of the body, so feel free to use those as resources for any questions you may have.

    Today, we're tackling a crucial topic: How do you know if you're seeing the right provider? I've got intern Garrett here with me, and you've probably heard his voice a few times by now. He's nearing the end of his year with us, so I'm taking advantage of these last opportunities to record our conversations for you.

    We were just discussing this before recording. Garrett, what was going through your mind that sparked the question, "Is it a red flag to be seeing this type of provider?"

    "Yeah, recently I went on a trip with some friends," Garrett explains, "and if you're in chiropractic school, PT school, or any sort of provider school, you inevitably get asked questions about pain or injuries. I had a friend who was seeing a pretty famous provider and asked, 'Hey, are they doing the right things for me? Are they giving me the right care I need, especially since it's a pretty far drive?' They said, 'We're flying blind here. Most people don't know what makes a good or bad chiropractor or physical therapist. Are they just trying to sell me packages? Or are they actually getting me better?' These are really important questions because if we in the industry don't check ourselves, we're not going to give people the proper care."

  • Navigating Lateral Hip Pain: From Bursitis to Tendinitis & Beyond
    Dec 22 2025

    Welcome to the Restoring Human Movement podcast! Today, we're tackling a common source of discomfort: outer hip pain, specifically focusing on trochanteric bursitis. While textbooks define bursitis as side-of-the-hip pain with swelling or puffiness, what if you have pain but no swelling? We'll dive into what that means and why your symptoms might be confused with other conditions like gluteal tendinopathy or IT band issues.

    Bursitis is an irritation and inflammation of the bursa – a fluid-filled sac – which often means swelling. But even without visible swelling, the tips we're sharing today can help. However, understanding exactly what you have is key, which is why a thorough physical examination.

    If your outer hip hurts when you walk, run, hike, or even sometimes clicks, but without the classic swelling, you'll gain crucial insights. Don't let uncertainty about your outer hip pain hold you back. Tune in to learn more and discover how proper diagnosis is your first step towards effective relief

  • Hip Impingement Explained
    Dec 18 2025

    Welcome to the Restoring Human Movement podcast! Today, your co-host Sebastian is diving deep into hip impingement, a condition often misunderstood but crucial for athletes and active individuals to grasp. If you've been dealing with persistent hip or groin pain, this episode is for you.

    We'll break down exactly what hip impingement is: a pinching sensation in the hip, typically caused by two main bony types—pincer type (an overgrowth on the pelvis/acetabulum) or cam type (an abnormal shape of the femoral head). We'll also discuss mixed types. While there is indeed a bony component that often won't change, we'll explain why this doesn't mean you're stuck with the pain. As we've discussed in other podcasts, there's a vital biomechanical factor at play. This is why focused rehabilitation and exercise are key principles for effective treatment.

    Understanding these details is the first step toward finding relief and getting back to the activities you love. We'll even guide you to our YouTube channel for visuals that provide more insight into these bony components. Tune in to demystify hip impingement and get on the right path to recovery!

    Welcome back to the Restoring Human Movement podcast! If you're an active individual – a runner, a hiker, a sports enthusiast – you know how frustrating hip pain can be. It's often more than just a general ache; the specific location of your hip pain can offer vital clues about its underlying cause.

    In this episode, your co-host Sebastian dives deep into hip pain locations and how they relate to common conditions that sideline athletes. We'll explore:

    • Groin pain: Could it be a sports hernia or hip flexor overuse?
    • Front-of-hip pain: Is hip impingement (FAI) the culprit?
    • Outer hip pain: Could you be dealing with hip trochanteric bursitis or a TFL strain?
    • Deep buttock pain: We'll discuss how this often points to piriformis syndrome.

    Understanding where your pain is located is the first step toward effective treatment and getting back to the activities you love. We specialize in lower quarter conditions, so whether it's hip, knee, or ankle problems, we've got you covered with tons of detailed resources.

  • Knee Pain Clues: How Location Points to the Problem
    Dec 11 2025

    Welcome to the Restoring Human Movement podcast! If you're an active individual – a runner, a hiker, or anyone who loves playing sports – you're in the right place. Today, your co-host Sebastian is diving into a topic we'll soon be featuring on our YouTube channel: understanding knee pain based on where it hurts.

    We'll explore how the specific location of your knee pain can offer vital clues about the probable diagnosis. For instance, pain around your kneecap might point to runner's knee (patellofemoral pain syndrome), while discomfort on the outside could indicate IT band syndrome. We'll also discuss how front-of-knee pain can differ from issues like bursitis, and why internal knee pain might signal meniscus injuries or other structural problems.

    Tune in as we start unpacking knee problems and help you decipher what your knee is trying to tell you!

  • Outside Knee Pain That's Not What You Think: Hoffa's Impingement Explained
    Dec 4 2025

    Join your handy-dandy running injury expert, Dr. Mandy, as she gets personal about an injury she's been navigating for over a year: Hoffa's fat pad impingement. With a background in NCAA cross country and track, coaching, and now specializing in trail and ultra running, Dr. Mandy knows a thing or two about runner's aches and pains. This isn't your typical ACL tear or patellar issue – there was no specific 'aha!' moment of injury, no popping or bruising. Instead, this outside lower knee pain came on gradually, possibly aggravated by a steep, technical descent during a run and exacerbated by a long day standing at a track meet. Dr. Mandy shares her experience with this often misunderstood condition, offering insights into what it feels like and how it can develop. If you've experienced nagging pain around your knee that doesn't fit the usual injury descriptions, this episode might shed some light on what could be going on.

  • Runner's Hip & Groin Pain: The Low Back Connection (Achilles Too!)
    Dec 1 2025

    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!
