Real problems. Real solutions. The Interdisciplinary Case Miles podcast dives deep into clinical cases affecting runners of all levels, analyzed through the lens of three leading experts in running health. Each episode presents a runner’s story—pain, performance, or puzzling symptoms—and explores it from the collaborative perspectives of an orthopedic physical therapist, a running medicine physician, and a sports dietitian. Tune in for practical, evidence-based strategies and behind-the-scenes insight into what really helps runners return to the roads stronger than before. Dr. Kate Mihevc Edwards PT, DPT, OCS Dr. Kate Mihevc Edwards is a board-certified orthopedic clinical specialist and founder of Precision Performance & Physical Therapy and Fast Bananas RUNsource. She is a researcher, author, and national speaker on running-related injuries, performance, and recovery. Kate treats runners of all levels—from recreational to professional—and specializes in working with those who haven’t had success elsewhere.

In Episode 15 of the Interdisciplinary Case Miles podcast, we discuss a case involving a 40-year-old age group runner whose long-standing hamstring tendinopathy became acutely aggravated after a slip on ice revealing the layered challenges of acute-on-chronic tendon pain in runners. This case highlights why proximal hamstring injuries require precise diagnosis and an individualized treatment plan. Dr. Sara Raiser(MD) explains how to differentiate high hamstring tendinopathy from lumbar spine or nerve-related pain, when imaging such as MRI or diagnostic ultrasound is indicated, and how to determine whether a partial tear is present. The conversation also covers when regenerative medicine options like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections or percutaneous tenotomy may be appropriate, and why they are rarely first-line treatment. Dr. Kate Mihevc Edwards(PT) takes us through the rehabilitation process, including early integration after PRP, the role of blood flow restriction (BFR) training, and why eccentric strengthening remains the gold standard for tendon rehabilitation. She emphasizes addressing the entire kinetic chain hip mobility, lumbar and thoracic spine mechanics, neural tension, gait changes, and stiffness patterns that often contribute to chronic hamstring overload. You’ll also hear practical insight into return-to-run timelines, common pain spikes around the six-week mark post-PRP, and how to safely reload a healing tendon. Sports dietitian Kelsey Pontius rounds out the discussion by explaining how nutrition directly influences tendon healing and regenerative outcomes. The team discusses energy availability, protein targets, iron status, collagen-supporting micronutrients like vitamin C, zinc, and copper, and how fuelin…","meta_description":"Do You Need PRP or Is Rehab the Real Fix?
