The Key to Running without Knee Pain

Season 1 Episode 34 of Running to the Castle Podcast w/ Dr. Ali Marty

In this episode I’m talking about what happens when you are doing all the things and trying all the recommendations you see online that help other people with their knee pain.

The 6 components you need to look at include:

Strength, (Run) Training, Recovery, Equipment, Stretching and Diet (Fueling/Nutrition)

When we’re talking about using other people’s recommendations we know one moment in time, it’s most likely what they recently did and they attribute it to what gave them the success. But we don’t know what they did previously.

When looking at the 6 components they make up an equation S+T = R+E+S+D and each side of the equation needs to be balanced to remain pain free, they key is keeping the balance.

If strength and training increases and goes up, then the other side needs to go up as well to match it.

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.
