The Athletic Edge: Navigating Knee Pain for Lifelong Movers

Are you an active adult dealing with persistent knee pain? Whether you’re a runner, CrossFit athlete, cyclist, or weekend warrior, knee pain can interrupt your progress and enjoyment. At Cristini Athletics, our sports physiotherapy team specializes in helping you move beyond pain and back to peak performance—no matter your age or activity level.

Common Causes of Knee Pain in Active Adults 
- Overuse Injuries: Patellofemoral pain (“runner’s knee”), IT band syndrome, meniscal irritation 
- Training Errors: Sudden increases in intensity, poor recovery, inadequate cross-training 
- Biomechanical Issues: Weak hips/glutes, poor ankle mobility, inefficient running or lifting form 
- Old Injuries: Lingering effects from previous sports or activities
