Are Squats Damaging to the Knee?
Posted: Tue May 11, 2010 3:27 pm
My knee came up sore after an all day training hike this past weekend. Fortunately, the doc could find nothing really wrong, so I am going with ice and ibuprofen for a few days. However, he strongly recommended not doing heavily weighted squats, which I have been doing 3X a week. I have never felt any pain after squatting, but this has me wondering. Any docs or PTs out there have anything definitive? Thanks.
