We have a very special guest with us today. Dr. Stefanie Flippin is not only a true expert in the foot and ankle working as a surgeon, clinician, and practice owner but she also a professional ultrarunner for HOKA, run coach, and the 2021 USATF 100 mile national champion and course record holder!
This conversation was such a treat as Stefanie may be one of the most positive spirits out there but I just loved her outlook on running injuries and our running community.
In this episode, Stefanie shares her passion and 5 key takeaway points to overcoming foot and ankle pain as a runner!
- No patient should be treated the same
- Find the right shoe!
- Importance of active stretching and mobility routines
- Address proximal issues (hip muscles and even the mental aspect of overcoming an injury)
- The power of belief and its impact on healing and pain management
