What is Runner’s Knee

by | Jun 30, 2021 | Podcast

Runner’s knee is patellofermoral syndrome, or anterior knee pain. It can be caused by a number of reasons. Depending on  the particular reason,  this will determine the treatment. In this episode, I shared the time that I had to shut down from running a race because of my runner’s knee. 

Having runner’s knee is not isolated to runners. People who participate in  sports related to jumping such as soccer and basketball can also get it. It is also common to women because of relationships of the hips to the knees.

Episode Highlights:

  • What runner’s knee
  • The important of strength training
  • How women have higher potential to have runner’s knee
  • Prevention of runner’s knee
