🦵 “Running is bad for your knees.”
It’s something we hear all the time but it’s actually a myth!
Here’s the truth 👇
✅ Recreational running has been shown to reduce the risk of knee arthritis.
✅ It strengthens the muscles and tissues that support your knees.
✅ Proper load management, footwear, and form make all the difference.
So no, running doesn’t ruin your knees, it can actually make them stronger!
It’s not the running that causes pain, it’s often how you run, how much, and what you do to support recovery.
If you suffer from knee pain when you run/ walk come in and see us! We can assess if there is a bigger issue at hand and do a running assessment to make sure we are covering all our bases and giving you all the information to continue running - pain free!!
