Ever wondered why your knees ache after a workout despite following all the usual advice? Join us on the Driven Athlete Podcast as Dr. Kyle unpacks his personal struggle with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) and offers a compelling blend of science and strategy to tackle this common issue. Learn how the biomechanics of your kneecap and femur might be the culprits behind the pain that flares up during squats, lunges, and other high-impact activities. Dr. Kyle also sheds light on the aggravating crepitus and fluid accumulation that make each step a challenge.
In this episode, we challenge the conventional wisdom that rest is the ultimate cure for sports injuries. Discover the proactive measures Dr. Kyle advocates for—like targeted soft tissue work, joint mobility exercises, and correcting compensatory movement patterns—that can help you break free from the cycle of recurring knee pain. We also dispel common myths, such as the misconception that structural issues like a torn meniscus are always the root cause of discomfort. If you've been battling chronic knee pain without finding lasting relief, this episode is your call to action for a more effective and enduring solution.
