11 months agoSome sources of knee pain are muscular and can be stretched/strengthened pretty easily. I had some pretty severe pain at the far/bottom (distal) end of my kneecap that ended up being from tight quads. It went from severe pain with every step to running again in a few days after some stretching/massage.
Massage guns are always coming down in price and IMO do a better job than a physical therapist. You can use a foam roller or most kinds of balls and pressure as well.
For stretching there’s a LOT of post-run stretching videos. I like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbayPYgUWUw but I’m a newer distance runner myself so there’s probably better out there.
