Why the Outside of Your Knee Hurts When You Run
Outside knee pain while running is often associated with IT band syndrome, but the solution is not always just stretching, foam rolling, or using a massage gun.
This week’s blog breaks down why IT band pain often comes down to load, capacity, hip strength, single-leg control, running mechanics, and recovery — and how a better assessment can help identify what needs to be trained next.
