One of the most common problems amongst runners is the runner’s knee. Knee injuries, like a torn cartilage or strained tendon, are possible causes of knee pain, however overtraining or extra running is the main factor, which is why many runners experience knee pain or injuries during their athletic careers.
You can take basic home care and treatment like rest, icing, compression, and elevation to reduce the symptoms of the runner’s knee. However, if you take every precaution and your symptoms still persist after a week, you should then consult your GP, and they will perform a thorough examination of your knee, which may include asking you to bend, straighten, or put weight on it to evaluate the severity of the pain and injury. Your GP may also perform tests, such as X-rays or MRI scans, to get a closer look at your knee joints.
Because a runner’s knee is such a complicated injury, your physiotherapist will have to examine your knee, feet, hips, and lower back thoroughly, as this will allow your physiotherapist to pinpoint the source of your knee discomfort and create a treatment plan for you.
Your doctor or GP will also recommend that you wear a knee brace. A brace will speed up the healing process by providing maximum support and protection to your knee joints and muscles. Wearing a knee brace will also increase your mobility and allow you to stand or walk for extended periods of time.

Running is not bad for your knees; however, running with poor posture can hurt your knees. While running, knee injuries occur due to overuse, meaning you are putting more stress on your knees than it can bear.
A knee brace helps reduce pain by shifting weight off the most damaged portion of your knee. A knee brace may also help improve your ability to get around and run comfortably. Knee braces, according to your needs, are different. You can take the help of a healthcare advisor in choosing the best one.
