Show Notes
In this episode, I explore a number of myths I regularly hear about knee pain and explain why you can't believe everything you hear on the internet. You will learn:
- Should you be avoiding squats if you have bad knees?
- Why hikers with knee pain should not be training like a 'newborn baby'
- Why getting stuck in the 'manual therapy cycle' is a terrible place to be for anyone with knee pain
- Why you should be wary of people recommending you remove certain things in your diet to help with pain (plus why these people are so adamant that it works)
- When you should consider supplements to help your knee pain (Hint: this should never be your first priority...)
