In this session, we start into some physical therapy and rehab concepts for knee conditions plaguing runners. I could have chosen a few physical therapist to answer my questions but Dr. Davis Koh was one of my top picks. To be fair, I would have could have had Dr. Koh speak about many different types of injuries so I will have to have him on again one day.
Dr. Koh is a good friend of mine and extremely decorated as a Doctor of Physical Therapy. He has traveled with a few US Olympic teams, treated professional athletes from the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and so much more. He has much knowledge to share but I tried to pin him down to these two:
Runner’s Knee (aka Chondromalacia Patella, Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome)
Meniscus Tears
We will go over what these two injuries are, how they occur, how rehab typically goes, do they need surgery, some treatment available and much more.
Dr. Koh also gives us some info on IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization). Below are some links some of the tools and sites he suggested.
