heya what's called the thing at 3:55? thanks
Do you recommend doing these exercises after a run or in the days between the runs?
Suffering from pretty bad knee pain after a 10mi run and these exercises are doing wonders. Up/down the stairs without limping.
I used to have knee pain until I came across the first four exercises you demonstrate. They work. I now do them three times a week along with some calf strengthening exercises.
I really thought that runner's knee was the pain on the outside of the knee.
Are regular barbell squats okay as well? (thinking double whammy here)
And how are you liking the on-shoes?
I had this injury. Exercices you mention really helped me a lot. In recovery phase I was focusing on ,,running from glutes'' or ,,high hips'', (i hope you understand me 😉 ) an that was most crucial for me
Really helpful, thank you. My knee pain has flared up recently so these exercises will hopefully help.
great video like always……
you saved my life
Currently recovering from one with a series of exercises like yours and Physiotherapy. Focusing on Stability, core strength, high cadence and arm movement back and forth during running to prevent it from reappearing. One comment: I thought the runner’s knew refers to the ITBS (iliotibial band syndrome), which is what I had. Strong pain on the outer side of the knee as if it was the meniscus.
Have it at the minute stopping me from doing everything been at the doctors and physio , videos a great help 👍🏻
Injured at the moment and loved this video. I am having hip pain, tendinopathy in glutes but do also have knee pain so I am hoping these exercises will help both issues.
1:32 Banded Side Step 10+10 x2-3
2:12 Side Lying Clams 12-15 x2
3:09 Standing Hip Hitches 12 x2
4:20 Single Hip Bridge 8 x2-3
5:32 Isometric Contraction 10
6:04 Wall Squat 8 x3
7:18 Quad Stretch 30s+
8:07 Lounge Stretch 30s+
Hey, will you marry me?????
I’ve been looking for videos like this to help me get more ideas for exercises! Thank you!
Having struggled with runner's knee for a few years now, I can recommend another great exercise that my therapist gave me and that's been an absolute life-saver: from a natural standing position, keep your upper leg still, while you ''kick'' your heel back and up toward your bottom – switch from leg to leg and do 50 on both sides each day. It may sound strange, but the results are amazing and will show in less then a month. It took me from not being able to run a 5k due to the excruciating pain to being able to run a half marathon without much trouble.
As far as poor alignment and exercises to fix it, I find when I'm tired towards the end of runs I hit the opposite ankle as I swing my leg forward more often. I take it that meant my legs are swinging in more as I get tired. Which muscles do I need to work on and which exercises work for that?
My knees are bad
I’ve had it… a bit over a year ago… took some time off from running and went to physical therapy for a while… built up the surrounding and supporting muscles and in time I was back at it… it hurt like heck for awhile… but it gets better…
