How I Fixed My Runner's Knee

When rest and reduction of intensity didn't resolve my knee issues last year, I wasn't in a position last year where I felt comfortable going to a medical professional. So it was time to take matters into my own hands, for better or worse. Fortunately, for me, I believe I was able to diagnose my issue, fix the immediate problems, and develop a routine that would prevent it from repeating in the future. Here's what I did and what I'm still doing. disclaimer: I am not a coach nor a medical professional. If you are in a position where it is currently safe for you to see a medical professional, go see a medical professional. disclosure: none of the products referenced in this video were sponsored, and they were purchased with my own money. 0:00 intro 0:44 disclaimers 1:12 diagnose 2:21 tendon massage 4:44 tendon strengthening 6:22 glute activation 9:17 warmup routine 13:48 balance disk 15:38 range of motion 16:45 glutes while running Tools mentioned: Amazon Exercise Band https://amzn.to/2XAXlkN Balance Disk https://amzn.to/3nAfRnX Bob & Brad Massage Gun https://amzn.to/3nmkT7e Some resources that helped me: IT band vs Runners Knee   / whats-the-difference-between-it-band-syndr...   Tendonitis and Scar Tissue    • Tendonitis? This One Specific Massage Can ...   Skandasana    • Video   Engage Glutes while Running    • How to Engage Your Glutes for Running   Thanks for watching!
