Along the way, she tried shockwave therapy, dry needling, stretching, massage, foam rolling, massage guns, nerve flossing, heat, ice and more. Some provided temporary relief, but nothing seemed to address the underlying problem. Eventually, things deteriorated to the point where walking forwards was painful, sitting and sleeping were difficult, and Jane genuinely questioned whether she would ever run properly again. \nAfter discovering the podcast, Jane joined my 60-Day PHT Recovery Blueprint and began approaching her rehab very differently: understanding tendon load and capacity, introducing slow progressive strength training, carefully monitoring symptoms and gradually rebuilding her running.\nJust 14 weeks later, Jane's story looks remarkably different. She's lifting heavier than she ever thought possible, sitting and sleeping more comfortably, building her running back up and recently completed a slow 15 km run. \nIn this episode, we discuss: The early symptoms Jane initially mistook for sciatica, piriformis problems and weak glutes  Why years of passive treatments only seemed to provide temporary relief  The point where her PHT became so severe she could barely walk forwards  Why understanding load vs tendon capacity completely changed her approach  How Jane found the right starting point for progressive strength training  The importance of tracking pain and returning to baseline after loading  Her extremely gradual return from one-minute run/walk intervals to longer running  How she managed flare-ups from sitting and long car journeys  The emotional challenge of rebuilding from almost nothing  The gym breakthrough that brought Jane to tears  Why...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/U9QHyZiuMTAQbAt-L5NPn321w0Wzs7Udil1bb-3dkWM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzM5ODgxLzE2ODEw/MjE0MzEtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
