Do you have knee pain when you run or walk but no idea why? The location of your pain is actually a clue. This video breaks down what different types of knee pain mean and gives you three targeted exercises to fix the root cause.

🔬 THE KEY PRINCIPLES
Knee pain is rarely random. It comes down to muscle imbalances and instability in your foot, hip, or posterior chain. Front-of-knee pain usually means your quads are doing all the work. Inside or outside pain often points to hip or foot instability. Back-of-knee pain tends to come from overworked hamstrings with poor eccentric control. Fix the weak link, and the pain follows.

✅ YOU SHOULD FEEL
The work in your glutes, hamstrings, and stabilizing muscles, not your knee grinding through the movement. Focus on alignment: hips square, weight distributed evenly, and a stable chain from foot to hip.
