what's up everyone Morey Croson here from the performance lab of California and we have a quick
little breakdown for you today it is really a practical guide to make it so you can resist knee
pain and then also get rid of knee pain if you currently have it we also have a cool deal that
we're currently offering here at the end and so if you want to get a little bit more information
about that I say at the end I'll give you that information so we'll go ahead and hop right on
into the video here so and this just has to do with the running form right so you know there's
all these different exercises drills Bob well Bobby you could do they obviously help out with
your knees but if you're running incorrectly if you don't have the right form and I'm going
to start doing a little bit more of these top video videos that have to do with the form then
you're going to have just as an out as much and/or greater amount of positive impact on your run then
you know doing the drills are doing the exercise so what we can see here is first thing if we if
we just watch the running here you could just see there's a lot of upward upper body movement
see all the rotation that's happening there and the upper body that's obviously the slope
job there's gonna be for somebody that's that's thinking about doing more of a long run it would
impact your short-term run but it just be more of an efficiency thing for this this is gonna have a
big impact on people that are running you know 5 miles 10 miles 13 15 miles you were in a long
way and and you have a lot of rotation going on your arms like that you're gonna end up with what
ends up happening is that then your hips have to work with the arms or I said the compensate form
so your arms are moving so much then now your hips have to be able to rotate side to side and
that's really what ends up happening here with her but regardless of what her compensations of
being there's some good information that we could see with her her feet and how the landing pattern
happened so big thing is if you're having knee pain really if you're having knee pain hip pain
ankle pain when you're running lock your elbows in that that's one thing that you could focus on
on doing to make sure that you're nice and healthy the next thing that I would say is make sure when
you're landing you're landing on the balls of your feet when you're when she's landing here you could
see she's landing much more on the heels and by landing on the heels what that does is that just
makes us so there's a lot of pressure that goes the heel to the front side of the of the foot
very very quickly or on the ball your foot very quickly you don't want that to end up happening
or being too big of a problem we want to be able to keep your your body weight on the front of the
of the foot and that's one of the big things that I see a lot is that a lot of people do not end up
doing that very well where as they're they're jogging or running for long periods of time
just landing on their heels rather than on the ball your foot okay next thing here we'll see
on the way back this is one of the bigger ones I would say for people to have Neath knee pain
is you can see the what happens is there's a good amount of extension here and this is a good thing
to get into but when you get this extension this is partially what makes it so you end up landing
on the balls your feet is that after you get this extension you have to pull your leg back you have
to get your leg to come underneath your body or just make it so you laying on the ball your
foot right so you can see what happens is that she lands on the heel okay and then when she
lands on the heel there's a rapid amount of ankle dorsiflexion is really what it is because of how
you know see how the ankle bends like that boom so the ankle dorsiflexion but really that puts a
lot of pressure on the front part of the knee and that's what what the main causes there's a lot of
extension right so the knee is fully extended out and then boom impact of the heel when the knee is
basically fully extended and then rapid amount of knee flexion that has to be fully absorbed by the
knee because of the because the landing was on the heel so you could do two things that would
make a huge impact one you a more on the ball your feet or foot and then the other thing is
that when you're landing you want to be pulling your foot so your foots landing more underneath
you underneath your hip rather than out in front of your hip right the foots here or the landing
parts you could say the landing parts here on the heel hips they're really the ball your foot should
should be here at landing okay ball of foot should be there landing so your foots underneath you and
then you would have significant significant amount of difference between your the pain that you're
feeling now in your knees your feeling any type of soreness or anything like that in comparison
to when you're you know and how you're currently running so if you're a jogger and you do this
and you you feel a lot of knee pain but this is a practical mechanical information that will make a
big difference on your ability to stay healthy and be able to long run for longer distances without
getting injured in terms of the awesome offer that we have them in that have the link that should be
able to pop up here in a second or at least it'll be in the description the offer is a massage gun

a full led operated massage gun it's great for muscle recovery it's so good for it I mean getting
rid of the stiffness and especially if you're watching this video every some knee pain this
would be great to be able to get like the outside part of the leg the the calves the quads there's a
lot of these massage guns that are going for three hundred fifty five hundred dollars I think that's
why they're just not as popular right now is just because the the beginning you know the first wave
