Started back doing Pose Technique for running and within three days the pain reduced significantly. I had been struggling with the pain for 3 months. I truly believe until I changed the technique the pain was not going away. It was not from over striding but from the arm swing which created a side to side weight distribution where almost all of the weight shifts back and forth as you land. This of course created much stress on the leg and of course the knee. Keeping my arms front to back has eliminated the stress as well as the problem. As well as eliminating the push off over pulling the legs. Thanks for the video.
I might not have the same credentials as the person talking in the video, but I do have more than 12 years of running experience. I have suffered with runners knee for about three months now recently, and the only method that really helps is just not running at all. Make sure you get proper icing on the knee. You are not superhuman things will go left and very quickly.
Do keep in mind I do all the stretches and I give enough time and attention to my knee. I’m 26 and I’ve never experienced any knee problems at all in my whole running career until now. So this became a surprise to me. I recommend doing some light knee workouts (Im assuming because the pain made you stopped running ) and also eat right. Get away from the idea of jumping back into running. Start on your arm workouts and get to chest and biceps 💪. Pick your head up, I love running but sometimes you have to listen to your body and what’s best for you
@@Shannycons yea it took me about 4 months of not running serious. I didn’t train hills only flat ground and I couldn’t even finish 2 miles. As soon as I felt discomfort I started walking. You do not want to run in pain it makes it worst. I recommend doing minor lunges with 5-10 pound weights to get your knee back into shape. It did take a huge hit with this injury so you have to build that muscle back up basically. Even now after 6 months I still feel my knee a bit tender and I run long distance.
@@BicyclePump thank you for sharing your experience, it gives me hope! I’ve been doing physical therapy which has helped some and PRP injections which did not help. I was running 50-60 miles a week and now I’m lucky to run 6-10 miles a week but haven’t run at all in two weeks. I’ll try the minor lunges! Hoping we both recover fully!
I have had inner knee pain for 3 months now, with no significant improvement. The MRI didn't show any significant results, and after jogging, the area usually swells, and the pain gets worse for a few days. Despite reducing the frequency, speed, and duration, as well as doing targeted stretching and strengthening exercises, it hasn't gotten better. I jog with a knee brace prescribed by the orthopedist out of fear that I might put too much strain on the knee while running. However, the brace also puts pressure on the affected area. Could this be why it gets worse after running? Should I try running without the brace? I am now very desperate and afraid that it will never go away and that I will have to give up sports like running altogether. Thanks for your helpful videos anyways!!
I have found success with consistent knee specific strength training, foam rolling and working in hip mobility/stretching, have also found success with scraping around the knee with a butter knife. Seems to break up the inflammation.
Hey Ruth, hmmm I am not entirely sure I understand your question. This video is good for short but intense workouts ruclips.net/video/amTABbP9_wc/видео.htmlsi=EW7Eh_1FIkz4umNr
Hey, I like your videos, watched them all but I'm not sure what should I do. My problem is that after about 5-6km of running, my left knee starts hurting, I watched many videos about it and it seems like the IT band starts to irritate the outer top part of my left knee, feels like it's just above the kneecap at the outside, the pain starts to build up gradually and I have to stop at about 10km, the biggest problem is not even the pain during the run, it's the inability to go down the stairs about 3-4hours after the run (when I ran 15k last time the pain lasted up to 4 days while going down the stairs). 2 months ago I was able to run a half marathon at a pretty good time, now I can only run about once a week with 50% slower speed (I intentionally go slow to minimize pain but also lost lot of fitness). I watched your video on the 4% speed increase and I did those exercises, weighted single leg deadlift, back squats and box jumps, I can do them, the knee starts to hurt a bit at the squats/lounges but it's tolerable, I can do all exercises you showed here as well so I'm not sure what should I do to get back at my previous form. Right now I run once about every 5-6 days, it's 7-8k run usually and in the rest days I'm doing these exercises but the pain is not going away. I will try to do more frequent 5k runs (pain starts at about 5km) but not sure what else I can do. I noticed the knee pain is biggest when I do lounges in my warmup, or hip flexor stretches (looks just like lounges), that's when I feel a point of pain and that is there for 2-3k, goes away and from 5-6k onwards, it comes back with much higher intensity. Thanks for reading!
Hello! Thank you for all the information. I use to run 3 times a week mostly around 10k each and last time I went to run and I started to feel a pain in my left knee but I kept going untill I finish. When I stopped, I started to feel so much more the pain underneath my knee Specially when I rise my leg that I cant bearly walk! (Next day the pain disappeared) So I made some research and appears to be a patella pain. I already went for a run this time shorter and It was the same. The thing is that now I'm afraid to run again as before, because I may have the same knee pain and I want to know your opinion about it. If I should continue to run even if it hurts or if I should stop and do some exercises before get back on track. What you think about it ? Thank you! 🙏
Thanks for watching. If you had a successful shorter run, I’d suggest a slow rebuild back to your pre injury distance. While pain isn’t ideal. Pain during exercise
Great video Brodie! Very informative and helpful and thanks for the great advice it really means a lot! Keep up the great work! Also I would love to see similar videos on Patella Tendinitis if that’s in the pipeline for the future?

Have you been able to return to running? I’ve been dealing with PFPS for just over three months now.

Thanks for sharing Amy and thanks for watching the video. What exercises did you do?
Great video with specific parameters! :) Thanks!
You’re Welcome Alexa, sorry I missed this comment earlier. How is your recovery going?
Very helpful, short and efficient!
Thanks for the feedback Pooya 👏
Hi- do you have an opinion about the kind of weight training that pushes you to your limit in a short amount of time?
