Questions people often ask
Do I need to stop running completely?
Not always. The aim is often to find a tolerable level of running while building capacity, but some symptoms need a short reduction.
Can weak hips cause knee pain?
Hip strength and control can contribute for some people, but knee pain usually has more than one factor.
