In this episode of Running to the Castle Dr. Ali discusses what one slow runner could do to help their knee pain when ice hasn’t been working.

She reviews a social media post with multiple responses from commenters of what to do to relieve the knee discomfort including knee braces, strength exercises and physical therapy as examples.

Dr. Ali notes the benefits of strength exercises to prevent knee discomfort and support the knee for running, though advises against using strength to treat the knee discomfort directly.

She recommends using modalities such as ice and delineates the appropriate frequency and duration for slow runners to notice improvement in symptoms with this treatment.
