The Solution I Found For Knee Pain
Knee pain, particularly patellofemoral syndrome (runner’s knee), is often caused by imbalances in the muscles around the knee.
Foam rolling your quads is a great way to relieve tension in the muscles that pull on the kneecap and contribute to pain.
In addition, I find it imperative for knee pain to work on your glutes and hip flexors, specifically your TFL, because the IT band essentially attaches via those muscles, which can make a huge difference in knee pain. Spend a few minutes rolling each side, focusing on the front and sides of the thigh to release tightness.
Corrective exercises are key to supporting proper knee tracking and preventing pain. One of the most effective is strengthening the vastus medialis oblique (VMO), which helps guide the kneecap in its natural path. Another key area to focus on with knee pain is your glutes because if you have weak glutes there tends to be more instability at the knee which can cause all sorts of problems.
Preventing knee pain involves more than just treating the symptoms. Regular soft tissue work and strengthening exercises will keep your knee out of pain and help balance the muscles that impact the knee.
Consistency is key—focus on strength and soft tissue work daily to maintain healthy knee function, whether you’re in pain or just looking to remain pain-free.
