Hip Labral Tear

Amy Baker

With thanks to Dr. Todd McGrath, Andrew Valente, and Kate Baird, I was able to work through various "training errors” and complete my first marathon in NYC earlier this week! Dr. McGrath was able to identify a tear in my hip cartilage and get me pain-free to get back to training. Two months of weekly physical therapy sessions with Andrew not only allowed me to strengthen my hip/weak leg to support the increased mileage, but also to pick up important knowledge to avoid future training errors. And as I was building up that increased strength, Kate was able to develop a running training program that was designed for me with the limited amount of time we had left before the marathon. Thank you to Dr. McGrath, Andrew, and Kate for helping me get from the start line to the finish line!
