Will wearing a knees brace strengthen my knees and stop the distress? also can i still run while wearing the brace?
about a month ago i stared running every day, starting at 1.6 miles and bit by bit working my way up to 3. this is not my first time running though, this past institution year i did cross country and track. while running this summer i suddenly experienced pain at the bottom of my knees. so i did some recearch and figured out the source of my headache was most likley my running on the street, running in run down shoes, and running every hours of daylight. so i started running evevr third day, got some devout shock absorbing shoes, and assumed that running on the street with them would be ok for my knees. but my knees still hurt a little so i approved i will start running on the grass, strengthen my knees, quads, hamstrings, and thighs. but my question to you is will wearing these knees braces while running help my knees heal and GET MY KNEES STRONGER? and CAN I STILL RUN WHILE WEARING THESE BRACES? all right thats it and thanks!
Answer: Stop running and rest it, till it starts getting better, wearing a brace long permanent status can weaken the muscles...(then you start to rely on it) let it make well naturally.
stop running.
it is one of the very worst things you can do to your cartilage.
If you don't believe me, study it. I hold. I stopped running the first night of reading..
A brace will only support your knees. It won't help heal it. I enjoy seen some people running while wearing a brace, so it may be possible. If it keep on bothering you, you should go see a Dr.
