The Often Forgotten Parts About a Healed Injury

Season 2 of Running to the Castle Podcast w/ Dr. Ali Marty

Episode 153 This is Why You’re Still in Pain After Running Injury Heals runDisney Races

In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali dives into the often-overlooked side of injuries: what happens after the bone, tendon, or muscle technically heals. 

Using real-life examples, from a TV show storyline to her own childhood injury and even ACL and stress fracture cases, she explains the concept of sequelae, the chain reaction of weakness, tightness, and compensations that follow an injury. 

You’ll learn why lingering pain, stiffness, or new issues in your back, hips, or shoulders are common after being in a cast, brace, or boot, and how to prevent them with the right strategies.

Dr. Ali shares why physical therapy matters long after the initial injury is “fixed,” and how small adjustments like using an Even Up or maintaining strength in other areas can keep you from developing bigger setbacks down the road. 

This episode is all about giving yourself grace, knowing what to watch for, and taking proactive steps so you can truly return to running strong.

Hi! I’m Ali. I’ve been in the health and wellness space since graduating with a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2012. I worked in the typical outpatient clinic with active men and women with orthopedic injuries (shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, muscle and ligament tears, knee pain, IT Band pain, plantar fasciitis, and hip and knee arthritis until 2018 at which point I started Mobile Physical Therapy in Las Vegas, Nevada. Over the past few years I’ve transitioned to helping women running runDisney races after they’ve had an injury and they want to finish strong and enjoy the rest of their runcation.
