Big shout-out to Rita! 🎉
She came in with hip pain, a labral tear on imaging, and no ability to run — a tough spot for a lifelong marathoner. Our evaluation found most of her pain was actually coming from how her spine was handling load day to day. We worked through it, reset after every bump life threw at her, and a few weeks in the hip pain was mostly gone.
This month: high-level workouts, a cross-country trip for a family wedding (where she personally made every floral centerpiece 🌸), and now — graduation from rehab into our Optimize Longevity program, so the gains she fought for stay for good.
Chicago Marathon 2027 is officially on the calendar. Let's go, Rita! 🏃♀️
