Injury prevention is obviously preferable to injury cure. It is common for people to adapt their work desks and equipment to improve their posture as a form of injury prevention. It is also common for gym-goers and athletes to practice good form when using weights as a means of injury prevention. What is uncommon is paying attention to and correcting our most frequently used movements that arguably have some of the more devastating effects on joints if performed badly over a lifetime.
Single leg exercises should be incorporated in strength and conditioning sessions as it is the best way to mimic the single leg work required in running with landing and push-off. It is also a good way to identify any imbalances from one side to the other. In the final part of this series, Jonny’s pain had largely settled and his rehab focused on single leg control. He also practiced a more efficient running technique to minimise loads placed on the knee.
