What is considered to be “Runner’s Knee”?
Runner’s knee or Patella-Femoral Syndrome is pain in the front of the knee joint frequently associate with joint stiffness, grinding, popping, and catching causing difficulty with running, jumping, climbing stairs, squatting and even walking. This condition is very often associated with cartilage damage know as Chondromalacia patellae.
What causes Runner’s Knee
The most common causes are 1) poor tracking of the patella femoral joint 2) weak core and hip musculature 3) poor arch support 4) knee joint wear and tear. Runner’s knee is in most cases a biomechanics problem related to poor tracking of the knee cap. Furthermore, damaged cartilage through being overweight, knee overuse and injury can reduce shock absorption can cause patella femoral pain.
Impairments it can cause…
The main symptom it causes is knee pain, especially in a bent position such as sitting, squatting, jumping, or going down stairs. Knee pain can cause occasional knee giving way and can put you at risk of falling. Furthermore, catching, popping, or grinding sensation with movement is common with this condition.
Knee Pain comes from…
• Muscle Weakness and tightness
• Joint damage, stiffness and inflammation
When should I worry?
• If pain is lasting more than 3 weeks
• If it is not improving or actually getting worse
• If you’ve taken drugs but it no longer helps
• If walking, sitting and climbing stairs makes it worse causing moderate functional limitations
When does it become an emergency?
• If you have pain without even moving it or just with sitting
• If you have knee swelling and joint jamming
• If you have difficulty with balance and walking
Traditional treatments that most try but are not as effective include:
• Drugs or injections
• Chiropractor
• Acupuncture
• Generic Physical Therapy
• Massage
• Generic exercises (Youtube, personal trainer)
If left untreated, Runner’s Knee can lead to irreversible
• cartilage damage and serious osteoarthritis
• Prolonged limping can lead to hip, sacro-iliac joint and back pain.
• Prolonged pain results in poor cardiovascular endurance, weight gain, avoidance of sports activates, loss of income and poor quality of life.
Try This Self-Test to See If You Have Runner’s Knee
Position yourself in lying flat or long sitting with the involved knee straight. Gently and gradually contract the quadriceps muscle. If you experience pain in the knee you most likely have Runner’s Knee
Furthermore, pressure on the upper edge of the patella will reproduce symptoms suggesting pain of patellofemoral origin.
• DISCLAIMER: You may need to see a physical or occupational therapist to get an official diagnosis.
How do you get rid of Runner’s Knee and Improve your performance?
My revolutionary Runner’s Knee Program helps to get rid of tight muscles, strengthen weak muscles, reposition misaligned patella and eliminate pain related to inflammation.
It often makes symptoms better very first session and depending on the complexity of your condition, it may take up to 6 sessions to fix.
I discovered this solution while working with hundreds of patients who suffered from knee pain. As I treated their knee pain, their posture, knee alignment and sports performance improved as well.
I found that if I normalize these muscles (and make them strong and healthy) the knee pain, patellar tracking and alignment improved very quickly.
In case you were wondering, it’s all-natural. No drugs. No injections. No surgery involved.
This discovery has led to a dramatic increase in how fast my patients got better. They were able to run faster, jump higher, climb stairs and return to sports and work. They were able to be more active, work and live their life again
Not all treatments are the same.
Not all traditional knee pain treatments lead to fast results and better performance. And believe it or not, some may actually make your problem worse!
Not all practitioners treat knee pain the same. And not all treatments target root cause of the problem and specific muscles at fault.
My hands-on technique is highly unique. I focus on functional movement patterns restore the motions and muscles of the knees and hips to get quick maximum results.
My 15 years of experience has led to the discovery of this revolutionary new way to stop Runner’s Knee in nearly almost anyone of any age, body type or condition.
