TFM6: Preventing Knee Pain For Mountaineers

TFM6: Preventing Knee Pain For Mountaineers

In this episode, I discuss how mountaineers can prevent knee pain from ruining their training and mountain adventures. Knee pain is an incredibly common issue for mountaineers. And it is something which I have had quite a bit of experience dealing with. Unfortunately, mountaineers generally are at a relatively high risk of knee pain. And, even worse, no one really seems to know how to prevent it. Sure, you can always find the advice of "strengthen up your legs" and "make sure you gradually build up your training" but does this really help? In my opinion, it is too vague to make any meaningful change. So today, I explore in detail the process I use to help my mountaineers overcome their knee pain. So they can enjoy pain-free movement, perform at their best and fully enjoy their adventures. Inside this episode:
  • Why knee pain is so common for mountaineers
  • A quick anatomy lesson about joints and their primary functions
  • How restrictions in certain joints can lead to pain in the knees
  • Why strength and stability work is so essential for protecting your knees (plus a few of my favourite exercises to help here)
  • Why common sense ain't common (and why you need to think about this when choosing types of exercise)
  • The most simple rule for knee pain prevention (which most mountaineers try to ignore)
