Knee Pain: Calling all endurance athletes

A very common problem seen in endurance athletes who present with knee pain is weakness in the outter hip muscles and poor coordination between the foot and hip. Recently published research in the Journal of Sport and Orthopaedic Physical Thearpy continues to enforce this assessment.

Be sure to work to strengthen each limb independently to increase your ability to absorb impact, stabilize your mechanics and ultimately prevent injuries to your knees and hips that will put you on the shelf.
