What are the possible causes of outer knee pain?
-
Outer knee pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including overuse or strain from activities like running or cycling, improper alignment or technique during physical exercise, muscle imbalances, or even issues with the IT band or other soft tissues around the knee joint. It's important to pay attention to your body's signals and consult with a healthcare professional or a yoga instructor to identify the root cause of your knee pain and develop a plan to address it appropriately. In the meantime, practicing gentle yoga poses that focus on strengthening and stretching the muscles around the knee can help alleviate discomfort and prevent further injury.
