In this episode of Running to the Castle I’m answering the question: Are squats and lunges bad for my knees?

When you have knee pain when you run, go up and down stairs, get up from a chair, kneeling, squatting and lunging it’s going to make you question if doing things like squats and lunges are bad for your knees.

Some runners will say you need to do more squats and lunges because they’re painful, and others will say don’t do squats and lunges because they’re bad for your knees… so which is it? Are they bad for your knees? Listen to find out.

  Hi, I'm Dr. Ali
  I've been running for 15+ years and been in the rehab space since 2012 when I earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree. I get injury prone runDisney runners across the finish line without feeling broken.
