@viyalum: Why does your knee hurt when you run… or even walk downstairs? It may be Runner’s Knee (Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome)—one of the most common causes of knee pain in active people. This happens when the kneecap doesn’t glide smoothly within the groove of the thigh bone. Instead, it shifts slightly, increasing pressure on the cartilage and surrounding tissues, which can lead to pain around or behind the kneecap. Common contributors include: • Weak glute and hip muscles • Tight quadriceps or calves • Poor foot mechanics or overpronation • Sudden increases in running mileage or intensity The good news? In many cases, recovery isn’t about stopping exercise completely. A combination of strength training, mobility work, improving running form, and gradually returning to activity can help restore healthy knee movement. 💬 Have you ever experienced pain around your kneecap while running, squatting, or climbing stairs? #RunnersKnee #PatellofemoralPain #RunningInjury #kneepain #viyalum
