Next Level Physio: Knee Pain In Runners

What Should I Do Now?

If you are suffering from any of these conditions, or you are experiencing knee pain in general, it is important to schedule a consultation with a physical therapist. At Next Level Physio, we will conduct a thorough physical evaluation to create a diagnosis and determine where your pain is stemming from. Afterward, we will create a customized treatment plan based on the needs of your diagnosis and the severity of your symptoms. Our treatment plans will incorporate both passive and active therapies for treating pain. Passive therapies are aimed at pain relief and healing, including specialized treatments such as manual therapy, ice and heat therapies, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation. Active therapies are aimed

at increasing strength, flexibility, range of motion, and overall function. These include condition-specific exercises and stretches that will target the affected area and any areas that may be contributing to the pain. We will also provide you with helpful tips and techniques for avoiding further injury in the future. If your knees are paining you, don’t wait to find relief. Schedule an appointment with us at Next Level Physio, and we will help get you back on track to being the best runner you can be!

Running Technique Training

www.simpleset.net Stretches Core Muscles LOWER TRUNK ROTATIONS Lying on your back with your knees bent, gently rock your knees side-to-side. Perform this 10-15 times in each direction.

Many running performance issues and injuries that runners suffer from are caused by poor running technique and weakness of specific muscles of the core and legs. Using Dartfish software, we analyze how you run and test out different muscles to find out if these areas are contributing to speed loss or injury.
