Ever feel like your body’s betraying you—just when you finally hit your running groove? 🥹
That nagging foot pain that won’t quit. The hip that flares up halfway through your run. The weird mid-back tightness after school drop-off and squatting a million times to pick up toys.
That frustrating feeling like no matter how much you stretch or foam roll, it’s not getting better.
If you’ve been there with that early morning hobble down the stairs after getting out of bed (🙋‍♀️ I have), this episode is for you.
Because let’s be honest—our bodies have been through it. And I left my "bounce back" era back with hitting a 6am training run after being out til 2am with my girlfriends.
I sat down with the amazing @dr.lisa.dpt—PT, runner, and running injury expert when it comes to helping runners get back to feeling strong & pain-free.
She’s helped over 3,000 runners return to the sport they love—without just telling them to “rest more” or “do some clamshells.” 🙄 (IYKYK)
She actually became a runner so she could treat runners better as a PT! (Welcome to the dark side Lisa!)
And now she’s sharing the exact tools she uses to help:
🔹 Tackle plantar fasciitis (the right way)
🔹 Build stability without spending hours in the gym
🔹 Fix pain at the source—not just mask it
🔹 Create programs that WORK for real-life busy runners (yes mother runners...that's US!)
🔹Navigating misinformation and outdated advice online
Whether you’re marathon training or just trying to get through a 20-minute jog without something flaring up, this one’s for you.
Moms, what’s the one ache or pain you swore was just “your new normal”... until it wasn’t?
I want to hear your story👇
