Knee Pain From Running: How to Fix it Forever with Brodie Sharpe

If you've been a runner long enough, some well meaning person will eventually ask you about your knees. Running is actually good for your knees, but if you're the one who's got knee pain on the run, that's not particularly comforting. So what can we do about this common injury in runners? Do we have to stop running completely? Thankfully, the answer is usually no. But there's a lot more to it than that. Physiotherapist and founder of the Run Smarter Series and Run SmarterPodcast Brodie Sharpe is here to talk about it. You'll learn: who is most likely to develop knee issues from running what we can do to prevent and treat running pain, and what most runners want to know, when you can get back to running again Even if you're one of the lucky runners who has never had knee pain, this conversation will help make sure you stay that way.
