How to Manage Knee Pain and Continue Running

Podcast
Written By Ali Marty

Season 1 Episode 36 of Running to the Castle Podcast w/ Dr. Ali Marty

In this episode I’m talking about managing new pain that has come on for someone in the past few weeks. The example is she went out for a run Monday and got knee pain, knee felt fine on Tuesday, so she went for a run on Wednesday and the pain came back.

With this information I asked her:

How much she was running (distance/time), how often she is running (MWF), and what she is doing in regard to stretching and muscle recovery.

In this example I walk you through how I guided this person to what she can do after a run to manage pain, and how long and how often to do it, and when she can go out for her next run and how long it can be.

Hi! I’m Ali. I’ve been in the health and wellness space since graduating with a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2012. I worked in the typical outpatient clinic with active men and women with orthopedic injuries (shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, muscle and ligament tears, knee pain, IT Band pain, plantar fasciitis, and hip and knee arthritis until 2018 at which point I started Mobile Physical Therapy in Las Vegas, Nevada. Over the past few years I’ve transitioned to helping women running runDisney races after they’ve had an injury and they want to finish strong and enjoy the rest of their runcation.
