PAIN PROTOCOLS

Knee Pain in Running

Frustrated much? Knee pain driving you crazy? Want to run/race with your mates again? Then continue reading.

When dealing with movement-specific pain, the planning must revolve around management of the root cause, and progress from there.  There is no point in just treating the injury site. Thing holistic, think whole body, think 3-dimensional.

An 8 week course, broken into highly digestible chunks where you have ALL the tools to analyse your own running biomechanics, your own muscle balance makeup, with a 6-week programme to get you back to pain-free running.

By the completion of this course, not only will you have resolved (or be firmly down the path of resolution (depending on what level of pain you're starting at)) the knee pain, your understanding of efficient running mechanics will be ingrained, and the performance goals are there for the taking.

Time to go get that PR. 

NOTE: the programming is highly structured, so in order to become pain-free, you MUST go through all the steps sequentially. This is 20 years of clinical experience crammed into an 8-week programme.

Cheers, Greg
