How To Treat Inside Knee Pain



Click here to download free report “5 (easy) Exercises To Beat Knee Pain And Run Stronger.  (Hint: It’s Not The Ones You Think)”

Common reasons for inside knee pain with running

1. Leg length differences can cause more stress on one leg – it could be either leg that can have pain on inside knee.

2. Poor pelvic alignment: due to instability or muscle imbalances can also cause increased stress down the chain resulting in inner knee pain.

3. Scoliosis of the spine can cause poor alignment down the chain leading to increased stress along the spine, pelvis and down the leg.

4. Muscle imbalances: tight, weak or over stretched can cause alignment issues and pain.

So for treating pain on the inside of the knee always address problems above and below the joint too. In addition to treating the injured tissue it’s very important to treat the cause of the problem.

Unless you correct the underlying problem, running can continue to cause inside knee pain.
