Unlock the secrets to overcoming knee pain and transforming your lower body workouts on this episode. Ever wondered why your knees hurt during squats or whether running is really bad for your joints? We dig deep into the complexities of knee pain, shedding light on common issues like patellar tendonitis and how they’re often linked to muscle recruitment disparities, joint mobility restrictions, and compensation patterns. Learn how limited ankle dorsiflexion can lead to problematic movements like external foot rotation and heel elevation, and discover strategies for addressing posterior hip capsule stiffness to improve your overall movement patterns and alleviate knee discomfort. Contrary to popular belief, activities like running and squatting aren't inherently harmful to your joints; it’s the improper movement patterns, poor load distribution, and mismanagement of volume and intensity that are usually to blame. We challenge these misconceptions and emphasize the importance of identifying and correcting underlying biomechanical issues rather than resorting to quick fixes like icing, resting, or relying on anti-inflammatories. By understanding and addressing the root causes of joint problems, you can prevent long-term structural issues and maintain healthier joints.
