Athlete Stories

Kat shares her experience with hip labrum surgery recovery on this episode of The Fuel Your Comeback Podcast.

How do you cope with hip labrum surgery?

Here’s Kat’s advice:

  • Take it day by day by listening to your body and aligning with what feels authentic to you.
  • Take the time to come back on your own timeline.
  • Have some grace and empathy with yourself and embrace the uniqueness of the situation and see what you can get out of it.
