Qaud Health and Patellofemoral Joint Pain with Mike Boyle

Welcome to Episode 404 of the Strength Coach Podcast, brought to you by PerformBetter.com, the Experts in Functional Training & Rehabilitation.

- The importance of functional, closed-chain exercises like split squats for pain-free quad training during rehab.

- Why leg extensions might not be the best choice for those with patellofemoral joint pain—and what to do instead!

- How to target quads effectively while addressing glute and hamstring strength for optimal knee rehab.

- Conditioning strategies for youth athletes and how to balance sport-specific activity with functional fitness.

- A discussion on attacking the hips and the role of hamstring strength in minimizing knee and back pain.
