Below you’ll find some great advice for those with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), more commonly known as runner’s knee, as well as some of the benefits Pilates offers runners in particular.
Lower extremity injuries are very common amongst runners– up to 79.3% of runners will experience these injuries, of which about half occur in the knee. The cause of these injuries varies and depends on the runner’s anatomy, strategy, and training.
What can you do to prevent runner’s knee?
The only sure-fire method of prevention is to ensure that the tissue capacity of the runner is bigger than the workload– the runner has to be fit enough to run the distance they want to run and allow the necessary resting periods needed for recovery.
If you already have runner’s knee, what can you do to treat it?
Since causes vary to how the injury happened, the best thing you can do is to see a movement specialist. A movement specialist can execute a proper assessment and design a recovery plan including rehabilitation exercises that will create a gradual, positive improvement that will strengthen your injury without causing further irritation. It’s very important to resist running too much too soon, but equally important to keep moving. Movement heals and participating in positive movement will quicken the healing process.

Benefits of Pilates for Runners
Running focuses on developing your legs, but neglects the core muscles. Posture is one of the key ingredients to running success, and is very dependent on a strong core. Are you seeing a theme here? A strong core will improve your clients running by helping them run more efficiently, with less chance of injury.
By building a strong core with Polestar Pilates, your client will be able to:
- Run more efficiently uphill and downhill with a stabilized musculature and more balanced sciatic area.
- Experience increased oxygenation, and therefore increased stamina with a fully expanded diaphragm.
- Will have less fatigue because of less strain on the body
- Shave seconds off their running times because they are moving more efficiently
- Be able to run without pain!
