Knee pain while running?  Here’s what you need to know about runner’s knee or patellofemoral pain syndrome.  

 

No running is not bad for your knees and no you don’t need to stop running with knee pain. In fact, regular running strengthens the joints and actually protects against development of knee arthritis later in life.

 

If you are feeling achy knee pain along the inside or front of your knee that worsens with running uphill, stairs, squatting, or sitting for a long period of time and you have tried icing, resting (stop running) and a knee brace but you’re frustrated that your pain keeps coming back whenever you try to run faster or build back those long runs again this is for you!

 

In today’s training, we’re uncovering the truth about Patellofemoral Pain Syndrom…what it is, why it happens, and how you can get back to running pain-free.
