HOW TO FIX YOUR RUNNER’S KNEE PAIN-FOREVER!

Ever felt that dreaded knee pain start as a “niggle” and get worse

and worse as you run?

Rest does not help.Painkillers do not help.Running “through the pain” does not help.What can you do?

So frustrating!

The pain is caused by the WAY you run.Unless your gait is addressed, every time you return to running the pain will still be there!

Good running looks like this:9 A slight lean forward.9 High knee lift.9 High heel lift at the back.9 Good hip extension.9 Midfoot or forefoot land

under centre of gravity.

Sadly, many runners run like this:9 Slightly slumped.9 Hip drops on landing.9 Excessive trunk rotation.9 No hip extension.9 Poor heel lift and minimal

knee drive.9 Heel strike out in front.

This sets up increased torsion through the knees and they become inflamed.

Get a friend take a quick video or photo of you running:

9 Do your knees roll in?9 Do your arms swing across

your body?9 Is your torso and pelvis

stable?9 Do you land under your

centre of gravity or way out in front?
