Field Guide 5 — Knee Pain

Train around it, not through it, and know exactly when to stop and see someone qualified.

This is education from a certified fitness professional, not a physiotherapist or doctor, and it says so on the first page. It opens with the red flags that mean you close the guide and get clinical care: swelling, locking, night pain, pain after a twist or fall, anything severe or worsening. For everyday minor training-related knee discomfort, the guide explains what the research actually shows: appropriate loading, not total rest, is usually what settles things. It walks through common patterns like runner's knee and jumper's knee, and how to modify range, modify load, and reintroduce work gradually. A framework for the small stuff, and a clear line for when it stops being small.
