Episode Details

This week Mike Bruno walks us through a real (HIPAA-compliant!) case study: a 61-year-old woman whose right hip hurt so badly she couldn't get in or out of the car without pain, and who 15 weeks later sent us a text after a 4-hour walking tour in Scotland with zero hip pain. We pull up the anatomy and break down why limited hip internal rotation can drive both hip and low back pain. Then we go through all three phases of her plan: Phase 1 restored mobility and cut pain, Phase 2 built strength and endurance in the lunge and squat, and Phase 3 built cardio without running. Along the way we cover the 3-out-of-10 pain rule, using RPE to avoid flare-ups, the 3-minute step test, and why getting out of pain is the starting line, not the finish line.
