Knee pain on the outside of the leg after running could be due to various reasons such as iliotibial band (IT band) syndrome, lateral meniscus injury, or even issues with the hip or foot alignment that could be affecting your knee. It's important to pay attention to your body's signals and not push through pain. Consulting with a healthcare professional or a physical therapist can help identify the exact cause of your knee pain and provide you with a tailored treatment plan. In the meantime, incorporating yoga poses that focus on strengthening and stretching the muscles around the knees, hips, and ankles can help alleviate discomfort and prevent future injuries. Remember to listen to your body, practice mindfulness, and approach your practice with compassion and patience.
