Stop Knee Pain. Keep Training. Run Stronger
Is Knee Pain Stopping You From Running?
Runner’s knee (also called patellofemoral pain syndrome) is one of the most common running injuries, and one of the most frustrating. If you’re dealing with:
Pain around or behind the kneecap during runs
Stiffness after sitting or climbing stairs
Clicking or grinding in the knee
Pain that gets worse the longer you run
…you don’t have to just “run through it.” At Tempo Physical Therapy & Performance, we can help you fix it and get back to training pain-free!

What causes runner’s knee?
Runner’s knee usually isn’t a “knee problem”. It’s often caused by:
Weak hips and glutes
Poor running form or excessive inward knee collapse
Tight quads or IT band
Sudden increase in training volume
Our job is to figure out what the root cause is behind your pain and create a plan that keeps you running. Check out our blog all about Runner’s Knee
Don’t Let Knee Pain Sideline You
You’ve worked too hard to miss training or sit out your race. The sooner you get your knee looked at, the faster you can get back to pain-free running.
