How to improve hamstring flexibility?



Stretch out those hamstrings so you can move easier and reduces chances of running injury. In the modern world most people sit for long hours resulting in a tight hamstring which restricts proper movement. Hamstrings are group of three muscles that sit on the back of the thigh. They cross two joints, the hip and the knee…and their function is to bend the knee and extend the hip. Tight hamstring can increase risk of injury and impairs optimal performance for athletes.

Treat your hip and ankle to beat your 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)”

A lot of knee problems can be treated effectively by addressing hip and ankle flexibility. Knee pain might be the symptom, but the underlying problem could be a stiff ankle or hip. As I always say always treat above and below the affected area. Often people spend time treating the painful knee but neglect the other structures in the chain that are causing the problem. Remember the whole system works together and thus you have to address every piece of the chain.

Stiff ankle or hip can cause poor mechanics up or down the chain and putting excessive stress on other joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons. Especially for optimal effortless walking, running, squatting, etc., you need balanced flexibility, strength and motor control along the whole chain. Otherwise you are setting yourself up for injuries, excessive wear and tear and poor performance.

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.
