Why Your Knee Hurts (and Why It’s Probably Not Your Knee’s Fault!)

Ever feel like your knee just doesn’t trust you anymore? One minute you’re running hills around Lake Minnetonka or crushing your WOD at the gym — and the next, your knee is barking like you’ve aged 40 years overnight.

Here’s the thing: your knee might not actually be the problem. It’s usually the victim of what’s happening above (the hip) or below (the ankle). At Minnesota Movement Chiropractic & Sports Rehab in Excelsior, we see this all the time — athletes, golfers, runners, and weekend warriors dealing with stubborn knee pain that keeps coming back no matter how much they stretch, foam roll, or ice it.

If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. We’ll help you figure out why your knee’s angry, fix the real cause, and get you back to doing what you love — pain-free and stronger than before.

(Spoiler: your knee will thank you, and so will your squat form.)

HalloWEEK in Beautiful Excelsior Minnesota!

With fall apparently already in our rear-view mirror and winter already upon us, it’s an important reminder to stay active even as the colder weather hits us. A few quick ideas to keep moving are..

  1. Set a timer on your phone to get up every hour and do 5-10 squats or lunges. You’d be surprised how many this will add up to every day for a week!

  2. While the coffee is brewing in the morning, take a few minutes to breathe through your diaphragm and deep core consciously.

  3. It’s still nice enough for a walk! Even if that means in your living room. Get up and walk/march/skip - it’s a fun activity to include the kids too!

  4. If you have to shovel that beloved snow.. remember to take mini breaks and make it a fun workout. Try to work as hard as you can for 1 minute and then take 2 minutes off as ‘rest.’ Rinse and repeat for time!
