Common Mom-Injuries: Plantar fasciitis, kneecap and IT Band pain, and more lower body injuries with Jennifer Penrose, DPT [Ep. 78]


Listen Later

Do your knees hurt a lot? Or maybe you have foot pain, like Plantar Fasciitis? Or maybe it’s IT Band syndrome...that horrible stabbing on the outside of your knee? Momma, you do NOT need to suffer through this stuff! So often, we tend to minimize our own aches and pains, half-heartedly saying “we’ll take care of it someday”. But listen, it’s time that you become an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT in your healing process! 

In this new series, I’m chatting with various physical therapists and looking into the most common injuries that we face as moms. Today, I have the opportunity to interview Jennifer Penrose, a Doctor of Physical Therapy that literally wrote the book on common running injuries...everything from foot, ankle, shin, knee and hip pain.    

On this episode, we’re going to look at lower body injuries and answer questions like:  

  • What is plantar fasciitis and how can we fix it? 
  • What’s causing the sharp stabbing or dull aching pain in your kneecap?   
  • Is there a way to find relief from IT Band pain, that horrible ache on the outside of your knee?  
  • And what, if anything, can you do to never suffer these things again?  

If you’ve been suffering through pain in your feet, ankles, and knees, let’s get to the bottom of it and find you some relief!
