Restoring Human Movement – Details, episodes & analysis

Welcome back to the Restoring Human Movement podcast! Join your co-host Dawne and intern Garrett as they dive into a fascinating case study. They'll be discussing a determined female in her 30s who was thrilled to get back into running, ramping up to 2-3 miles, 5-6 days a week after a long break. However, a swollen left knee is now hindering her progress. Garrett, with his strength and conditioning background, joins Dawne to discuss the hands-on treatment and, more importantly, the weight room program designed to get this runner back on track. If you're a runner dealing with setbacks or interested in how rehabilitation and strength training work together, this episode offers a real-world example and Garrett's expert insights.

In this episode of the Restoring Human Movement podcast, cohost Dr Dawne Costintino DC, Primary Spine Practitioner, shares a real patient case involving two common complaints: a tight lower back and pain along the inner knee. This combo shows up in runners, lifters, and active people more than you'd expect—and it's not always about the site of pain. Dawne dives into movement patterns, compensation habits, and overlooked contributing factors that can trigger or prolong this type of discomfort.

If you're someone who moves often, but suddenly feels limited by nagging pain or stiffness, this episode unpacks the "why" behind these symptoms and offers early insights into how to get moving confidently again. Great for runners, weekend warriors, and anyone chasing better performance without the pain.
