Thinking about knee surgery as your fix-all for running pain? In this episode, we’re breaking down the real path to recovery—and it starts before you even go under the knife. Coach Valerie shares what’s often overlooked: how lack of glute strength, poor walking mechanics, and skipping foundational movements are the real root of chronic pain.

You’ll hear why some runners don’t need surgery at all—and why others who do still end up frustrated and in pain afterward. Whether you’ve had a procedure, are trying to avoid one, or are stuck in a cycle of pain and quick fixes (like knee braces or cortisone shots), this episode will help you reframe your path to lasting movement and pain-free running.
