Expert: John DeHart Date: 5/27/2008 Subject: hip pain
Question I have been running for many years. I am a 36yr old woman and have spent the last 6 months or so running about 5 times per week on a treadmill. I used to run outside. I run about 5 or 6 miles each time. I recently ran outside and now have hip pain in what feels like the upper part of my femur on the right side. I only feel it when I run and it occurs about 20 minutes into the run whether I run outside or on a treadmill. I tried resting it for four days but it didn't seem to make a difference. Any advice as runnning keeps me sane! Thank you.
Answer Hi Erica
When you switch from treadmill to outside your stride length and surrounding tendons and connective tissues in the core area will be effected.Alignment and tracking of that core area needs some work such as light stretching and also strengthening of abs,back extentions,adductor,abductor,leg extentions and curls.I would also add some stationary biking to help with tracking.Your pelvis is starting to rotate and you need to stabilize it with the core work mentioned.You have to treat the cause.No quick fix.You would notice the same thing going back to treadmill.If you have other questions just get in touch Erica.
