Why Does My Knee Hurt When I Run?

Physical Therapy Resources for Athletes and Active Adults

The Art of Movement is where the physical therapists at Art of Physical Therapy share practical information about pain, injuries, rehabilitation, strength training, and sports performance.

These articles are written for runners, lifters, swimmers, martial artists, and active adults who want to understand what may be affecting their movement. We explain common problems in plain language, discuss what we look for during an evaluation, and share how we help people return to the activities that matter to them.

Topics include:

• Running injuries and gait analysis
• Knee, hip, shoulder, neck, and back pain
• Strength training and mobility
• Injury recovery and return-to-sport planning
• Sports performance and injury prevention
• What to expect from physical therapy
• The benefits of one-on-one, cash-based care

The information provided here is educational and cannot replace an individual evaluation. Two people can experience pain in the same area for different reasons. A physical therapist can evaluate your strength, mobility, movement, training load, injury history, and personal goals before recommending a plan.
