You should probably be doing some strength and mobility work in that area to prevent it from happening again. A lot of people, myself included, have this issue multiple times.

You’re probably right. My injury was a result of improper body mechanics used suddenly trying to turn a 650lb vented COVID patient who became unstable during a repositioning turn so I had to move quick and get him back settled.

During the 6 months of therapy before the PRP injections, the PT focused on teaching me how to engage my core during everyday activities so that my core is strong and engaging those core muscles comes naturally now.

When I run now, I am still mindful and focus on my core, posture and whatnot.

But you’re right. I probably need to add some strength training in.
