Restoring Human Movement - For the Outdoor Lovers
Hosted by Sebastian, Mandy, Dawne - Performance Place | Sports Chiropractic & Rehab · EN
You shouldn't have to pack up your trail gear or cancel a summer trip just because your body is pushing back.
Welcome to the Restoring Human Movement podcast, a periodic show for hikers, backpackers, and trail runners who are navigating the physical realities of training in their 40s and beyond. Hosted by the sports chiropractic and rehab team at Performance Place Sports Care in Costa Mesa, California, we don't release episodes on a rigid corporate schedule...we only drop a new show when we have something genuinely useful to share.
Our goal is to give you clear, no-nonsense strategies to manage growing pains and stubborn injuries without forcing you onto the sidelines. We focus on the exact issues that take outdoor athletes off the trail, including lower back pain, hip impingement, labral tears, sports hernias, plantar fasciitis, and patellofemoral knee pain.
If you want to understand how your body actually handles load and how to fix your biomechanics, this is for you. We see patients in person at our Costa Mesa clinic, and we also provide telehealth consultations across multiple states. Hit subscribe to keep your training on track. Call us if you want some help getting back to activity. https://www.p2sportscare.com/ 714-502-4243

Peroneal Tenosynovitis Runners
Jan 2600:08:54Tap to summarizePeroneal tenosynovitis may sound complicated, but for runners, the signs are often easy to spot. This condition affects the tendons along the outside of the ankle — the ones that help stabilize your foot with every stride. When these tendons become irritated or inflamed, runners often notice pain, swelling, or stiffness that gradually worsens with training. Early signs include a dull ache or soreness at the outer ankle, sometimes turning into sharper pain during or after runs. Swelling, warmth, or even a snapping sensation near the ankle can also appear. Many runners feel stiffness first thing in the morning or after sitting for long periods. On trails or uneven ground, the ankle may even feel weak or unstable, making balance harder to maintain. Unlike an ankle sprain, which happens suddenly, peroneal tenosynovitis usually builds up over time due to repetitive stress, higher mileage, or uneven terrain. Recognizing these early warning signs can help runners better understand what their body is saying and stay consistent in their training. Looking to get in touch with our office?

Anterior Lateral Shin Splints Runners
Jan 1900:08:04Tap to summarizeShin pain is one of the most common complaints among runners, and anterior lateral shin splints are a prime example. This type of shin splint affects the front and outer part of the lower leg, often showing up as an ache or soreness that builds during runs and lingers afterward. At first, the discomfort may feel like a dull ache that eases once you warm up, but over time it can progress into sharper or throbbing pain that interferes with both running and daily activities. Runners with anterior or lateral shin splints often notice tenderness when pressing on the shin, a feeling of tightness in the muscles along the front of the leg, or even mild swelling after a tough workout. Hard surfaces, downhill running, or sudden jumps in mileage can make the symptoms worse. Unlike a stress fracture, which usually causes pinpoint pain in one exact spot, shin splints typically cover a broader area along the shin and may affect both legs. Recognizing the signs early helps runners understand what's happening in their lower legs and take steps to keep training consistent without being sidelined. Looking to get in touch with our office?

Case Study- Two Runners with Hip & Achilles Pain
Jan 1200:13:10Tap to summarizeHip and Achilles pain are two of the most common problems that runners face, yet they can feel very different from person to person. In this case study episode, we look at two runners dealing with pain in these areas and the unique ways their symptoms showed up. Hip pain in runners often presents as aching or stiffness deep in the groin, on the outer hip, or at the front of the joint. It can limit stride length, cause tightness after sitting, and sometimes even mimic other issues like back problems. Achilles pain, on the other hand, is usually felt as soreness or tenderness along the tendon just above the heel. Early signs include stiffness first thing in the morning, aching that builds during a run, or swelling that lingers afterward. By comparing how these two runners experienced their hip and Achilles symptoms, this episode highlights the patterns athletes should pay attention to. Recognizing the early warning signs is key to staying consistent with training and avoiding setbacks. Looking to get in touch with our office?

What is Hoffas Fat Pad Impingement?
Jan 500:15:45Tap to summarizeKnee pain can be confusing for runners because it comes in many forms. One lesser-known source is Hoffa's fat pad impingement, which affects the soft tissue just below the kneecap. This fat pad normally cushions the front of the knee, but when it becomes irritated or pinched, it can create sharp, localized pain that feels very different from general soreness after a run. Runners often describe the discomfort as pain directly beneath or on either side of the kneecap, especially when the leg is fully straightened. The symptoms may worsen when running downhill, standing with the knee locked out, or after long runs that place repetitive stress on the front of the joint. Some also notice swelling, tenderness when pressing just below the patella, or a feeling of fullness at the front of the knee. Because the fat pad is highly sensitive, irritation can linger if ignored. Unlike conditions such as patellar tendon pain, Hoffa's fat pad impingement tends to feel sharper and more pinching in nature. Recognizing these symptoms early can help runners better understand the cause of their knee pain and avoid setbacks in training. Looking to get in touch with our office?

Spotting the Right Pro: Your Guide to Choosing a Healthcare Provider
Dec 2900:24:52Tap to summarizeWelcome 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."
