Got pain on the outside of your knee? It’s probably not coming from your IT Band — it’s just where the symptoms are showing up.

Most of the time, this kind of pain comes from how you're moving.

Maybe your hip or foot can’t rotate the way it needs to.

Maybe your technique is off during lifts or runs.

Either way, you are loading the outside of your leg more than it likes.

Foam rolling and glute work might feel productive, but they usually miss the bigger picture.

Easiest fixes?

Learn to find full foot pressure.

Make sure you can internally rotate your hips.

Stop pushing your knees out.

It’s not about doing things the right way or the wrong way.

It’s about having options.

Lack of options = always using the same muscles, tendons, and joints the same way.

That’s means they never get a break.

More options = more opportunity to spread that load to different things and avoid pi***ng off an area.

Gotta keep your options open. Otherwise your body will make the choice for you (and do things the same way it does everything else 🙃).

Rather than looking at posture as a CAUSE of your pain, you should be looking at it as just another symptom.

Your brain has only 2 goals:

1. Survive. That means save energy wherever it can.

2. Don’t fall down. And if it can figure out a way to do that, that also saves energy, even better!

Save energy + don’t fall over + what task you are trying to complete = the shape your body takes on (aka posture).

Easy example:
Reaching into the cabinet above your head to grab something and a heavy overhead press with a weight use generally the same positions, but you will probably have very different postures during each, because you have a different goal for each.

Are you someone that is over focusing on posture?

Your brain is good at finding ways to move that are easier and/or protective of an area that needs it.⁠
⁠
Does that mean those strategies are useful long term?⁠
⁠
No.⁠
⁠
But your brain will like to keep them around anyways.⁠
⁠
Cuz it's just trying to survive.⁠
⁠
The injuries you've had in the past can have a a big influence on how you move today.⁠
⁠
This doesn't always result in things that matter or need to get addressed.⁠
⁠
But often it does.⁠
⁠
When the normal, simple stuff isn't working for your pain, it's time to branch out and take a look at how the body moves as a whole.⁠

You need to be able to recover from the training you are doing.⁠
⁠
That means eating enough.⁠
⁠
That means sleeping enough.⁠
⁠
That means setting up your training in a way that actually lets you recover.⁠
⁠
Training needs to be challenging (hence the bonus tip), but you still need to be able to recover from it.⁠
⁠
Not all pain/injuries/stalled progressed is solved by adding more things. ⁠
⁠
More is not better. Better is better. ⁠
