KNEE
Patellofemoral pain
Often called “runner's knee,” this refers to pain around or behind the kneecap, commonly provoked by loaded knee-bending activities.
Picture This
You suddenly double your running mileage and your knee starts hurting on stairs and during squats. Before blaming one movement, think about the jump in training load.
KNEE MOTIVATION“Knee-d some motivation?”Your knees aren't just for kneeling — keep them strong for everything you love doing.
Why it can happenActivity overload, movement-coordination deficits, muscle-performance deficits, and mobility impairments can be relevant.
Rehab focusClinical guidelines support exercise-based care, commonly involving both hip and knee strengthening.
