PAIN DOESN’T JUST SHOW UP IN OUR LIVES FOR NO REASON. IT’S A SIGN THAT SOMETHING IN OUR LIVES NEEDS TO BE CHANGED.
If you have a friend or family member who is experiencing knee pain, you need to push, pull, or drag them to our FREE workshop. This workshop is designed to give participants a basic look at the underlying causes of knee pain and share how they can get back to normal without unnecessary medications, injections or surgery.
We all experience knee pain at some point, whether it's training for a half-marathon, climbing the stairs or simply just sitting with your knee bent.
* Knee pain is common.
The problem is once your knee is strained, it often goes into protective mode.
- This is where the outer quadriceps, ITB, hamstrings and calf simultaneously get tight, whilst the inner knee stabilizer (VMO) and glutes tend to switch off.
- This can lead to pressure on the kneecap (patella) and in some cases can outlast the original injury.
- This muscle imbalance can be difficult to overcome on your own and possibly become chronic but there is definitely something you can do.
