Summary

In this episode, Matthew Boyd discusses the nuances of treating runner's knee, emphasizing the difference between toughness and strength. He explains the importance of maintaining the toughness of the knee joint through appropriate loading and running, rather than resting, to prevent further injury.


The discussion also covers the significance of tissue sensitivity and health, and how running can serve as a rehabilitation tool to enhance knee resilience. Boyd concludes by outlining the components necessary for becoming an 'unbreakable runner' who can run pain-free for the long term.
