Do you get knee pain when running? Tired of knee and foot pain? The picture above shoes a great example of the difference in forces (yellow line) when running with a long stride with heel strike vs a shorter stride with mid foot strike. Here is something very simple and easy to do to help you get out of pain and decrease the stress to your knees! Current research shows an increase in step rate (with a decrease in stride length) can reduce the loading to the hip and knee joints during running! This may also prove beneficial in the prevention and treatment of common running-related injuries. I tried it and I feel I can run much more efficiently now with less stress to my knees. There is no need to run with pain so consult with Pursuit Physical Therapy for a biomechanical analysis or visit www.pursuittherapy.com for more information. Visit the Pursuit Physical Therapy You Tube Channel for more running exercises and information with great videos by Chris Johnson, PT regarding tips for runners.

ReplyDeleteThe pictorial explanation about the foot and knee pain seems to me right. The wrong postures of running can also be the cause of disturbing foot and knee pain.
