Have you ever injured your knee before or had knee pain and you went to the doctor and they told you to stop running?
Did you follow their recommendation, go to PT, go see a chiropractor, and then even after you took 4 weeks or even 8 weeks off from running the pain was still there?
Have you been told that your only option at that point is a PRP injection?
Today’s interview with Kristi is going to be helpful for you if you ever struggled with knee pain before that limited you from running or getting in those lunges during your strength work or if you just feel to too slow to ever be able to run a marathon.
Kristi is just one of our SPARK winners from our Healthy Runner Coaching Program who has just accomplished some amazing things with her running and health. I just needed to get her on our LIVE show to share her tips with many of you who may be struggling with similar issues.
If you are a runner who is worried you may do long term damage to your knee but still want to maintain your connections and meet up with your mom groups, challenge yourself physically, and needs some guidance then this is just what you need to provide you some hope!
