Does the same knee always feel sore after your runs?

Running places thousands of repeated loads on your body. If your hips, glutes, or foot stabilizers are not firing evenly, one knee ends up taking more stress every stride. Over time, that imbalance creates tightness and irritation.

โœจ If one knee keeps taking the hit... You must resolve the imbalance.

๐Ÿค” Ever been told, โ€œThatโ€™s just part of getting olderโ€?

Pain isnโ€™t a requirement of aging.
As we age, muscles can stop activating properly, forcing joints to absorb more stress โ€” and thatโ€™s what creates pain. Restore muscle function, and movement can feel strong again at any age.

โœจ Donโ€™t accept pain as normal.
