Season 1 Episode 46 of Running to the Castle Podcast w/ Dr. Ali Marty
In this episode of Running to the Castle I’m discussing why your glutes are so important for your knees when you’re a runner with knee pain.
The glutes are the biggest muscles in your hips and the 3 glutes help support every motion your hip does.
Your glutes pre-position where you leg goes in space so if your leg doesn’t step in the right position the knee position isn’t good.
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.
