Occasionally I've been having knee pain when I walk around and sometimes while I run. I've stayed away from drops soon after I found out about how much damage it could do to my knees so I'm thinking that's not it.(highest drop I ever did was around 10 ft and that was only once) Something else that may contribute to my knee pain is that I've been going to a gymnasium 2-3 times a week for about 2 hours or more each time on top of my own training at home(It's winter time so that's how I usually train) I don't think that all the tumbling would have much impact on my knees but that's the only thing I can think of. Should I take a break from the gymnasium for a while to see if the pain goes away? If so, what exercises could I do in the time being? And also how long should my break be? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just afraid that my knees will be destroyed when I get older and I want to be doing parkour for a very long time.

Uh? you're doing 6 hrs or so with impact on your knees. One would THINK it has an impact on your knees.

Drops too. Good thing you're staying away from them.

Take some time off; it should get better.

I'm currently writing an article on this actually. in general, just give it some rest for now, you can massage around the knee, especially behind the knee deep, and that should help.

hehe I've been away from drops for like months actually... they're not even cool

Anyway I'll probably stay away from the gymnasium for the rest of this week and maybe a few days next week as well and I should be good

I'll keep you posted if I start feeling any pain after my break.

By the way, do you think I should stay away from some exercises? I have after school workouts for 4 days a week so I'm not sure if I should be staying away from squats or something.

Alright thanks

I usually massage my knee if I feel any pain anyway so I guess I'll keep doing that. Oh and if you finish the article, please send it to me!

I've stayed away from the gymnasium for almost an entire and my knee's felt much better than before. I'll stay away for another week just to be safe

Went to the gym today to test my knee, It was okay, I did some backtucks and most of my skills were a little sloppy but I did okay.

My knee afterward felt a little funky and I did feel a little pain in my right knee while walking... Should I take like a month off of gymnastics and plyometrics?

Steven Low · « **Reply #6 on:** January 19, 2009, 08:10:54 PM »

I think you can answer that question for yourself.

Joeson Wong · « **Reply #7 on:** January 20, 2009, 08:52:17 AM »

Alright I guess I will be taking a break from parkour and lowerbody training for a while.

I'm thinking of assessing how many times a day I feel pains in my knee and see if it decreases or increases a day. When I finally go an entire week pain free then I'll come back to my regular training regimen.

Do you recommend doing any lowerbody workouts still? I've been doing some during my afterschool weight training and we run there too. QMs are fine though right?

EDIT:
Last night I was worried about some of the pain in my knee so I looked up knee pain and it seems as though the condition that fits me best is Patellar Tendonitis. The top treatment is resting... so I guess I'll be doing that now

yea i got the same thing man, Patellar Tendonitis, im scared of doing anything now cuz i dont want to mess up my knees permanently, and it sucks cuz i workout all the time, but just to be safe, ima take 2 or 3 months off of lower body exercises and parkour

Joeson Wong · « **Reply #9 on:** January 22, 2009, 10:39:12 AM »

Yeah I'm taking all jumping and anything that I can imagine to impact my knees even a little off. So far I QM around my house and sometimes outside if there isn't too much snow(that's not going too well). Running is forced by my school so I think I might skip the after school workouts... Maybe for a week and I'll see how much better the recovery rate is.

hi. im Lee, i am 35 and been in martial arts,parkour,rock climbing,and more since i was 10.my knees were always in pain.here is a necessary element everyone forgets.nutritional supplements that are focused on the joints.osteo biflex is weak.fleximin is the same.msn,glucosamine,chrondroitin,are all necessary for your joints to maintain their lubricity and flexibility.the point i am making is this,i am 35 years old,been rough on my joints for 25 years,and my joints dont hurt at all anymore.forget the commercial grade (includes gnc,tec)and get pharmaceutical grade vitamins.i know a company that has the best joint solution,bar none.it also has a whole lot more,but the joints are what i am talking about.this stuff is comparably priced with commercial grade crap! this stuff works! another thing i use is goblet squats.they are awesome.they use a full range of motion and strengthen every part of your joints.no bounce,no half squats which limit tendon and muscle stretch(as well as strength). they use your full range of motion and increase explosiveness as well as rehabilitating injuries! after muay tai kicking for years,i know whereof i speak.if you want the website for pharmaceutical grade supplements,email me at masterohwize1@yahoo.com .trust me,they will really help you! any questions,let me know!

sounds like a marketing thing to me. I don't think we are on here to earn money off of each other. If I'm wrong, my bad. If its not for your personal gain, post the site up here so that we know its public domain and not through a personal link.

masterohwize1 · « **Reply #12 on:** February 06, 2009, 09:24:55 PM »

you can go to the website. it is fhtmus.com/leenorris .click on the true essentials link on the main page.anyone has access to that site through a rep name.lee norris is the rep for that site.however true essentials was bought from japan by fhtm and is exclusive to its members.i am giving public access to that site for your benefit.the joint solution works and i am walking proof of it.why would i not want to share something that works with people i know can benefit from it?if you dont want to use it then use something because it is necessary for your body.also the goblet squats dont cost you anything! do them regardless.i have been a trainer for years,i know what works.try it and you will see.we are not looking to get rich here,just want to help.i certainly did not mean to offend anybody if i did.if i recommended osteobiflex from gnc would that be any different?no,it wouldnt.once again,just want to help.thanx

This isn't to say that the products aren't good, and that they aren't worth anything, or that you can't help people with these products. I'm just extra wary of pyramid schemes, or similar. Given, some are good, but its just a stain on the reputation of the product to resort to these money making schemes.

Ken PKChiro · « **Reply #14 on:** February 06, 2009, 11:36:12 PM »

plus, as your 1st 2 posts on the forum, it doesn't look very good. seems more like a money scheme, something you googled to create an account and fish. Maybe this isn't so but again, that's how it looks.

masterohwize1 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 07, 2009, 08:50:59 AM »

listen guys,i am not suggesting you join anything,not asking anything like that.this is not a pyramid or anything,the company speaks for itself.all i did was show you a website that sells a joint product that helps your joints!i went back and read my first two posts.it did sound like an infomercial! lol,not my intent at all!iuse the stuff so i tell everyone it works and what it did for me.regardless of the true essentials line or not, find a pharmaceutical grade joint product from somewhere and use it.your body needs it.also, again, use the goblet squats.they work wonders .i understand skepticism,there is a lot of crap out there,just dont confuse the real with the false.you dont have to join anything to buy an online product that can help you.just lettin you know what works,thanx.

masterohwize1 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 07, 2009, 02:02:34 PM »

i went back and read my initial posts,it does sound like an infomercial!so not what i meant!simply this, the product works,we need it,it will help you.you dont have to join anything,it is not a pyramid(which are illegal by the way,)simply a website that sells the best supplements out there.i use them and tell people i know can benefit from them as well.regardless of that,use something to rebuild and lubricate your tendons,cartilage and muscle.also, the goblet squats dont cost you anything,use them also.

Hmm.. I don't think I'll be buying that "medicine"... the website looks a bit fishy seeing as how it's a marketing website instead of a Medicine website... Anyway I've made a log for my knee pain, fitness progressions, and diet. If any of you would like to, you could keep track of how my knee is feeling...

Oh yeah, I've also tried visiting a chiro but that didn't end up well... read my log for more details.

Ken PKChiro · « **Reply #18 on:** February 08, 2009, 09:41:43 AM »

sorry to hear that bud. did you go to the parkourelements.com website? there is an article on how to choose a chiro.

Joeson Wong · « **Reply #19 on:** February 08, 2009, 08:36:41 PM »

Yeah I've already read that article, I just chose that chiro since it was the closest one to me. And according to him it's illegal to be examined unless you're over 18 or have your parents come with. Since both options don't seem possible at the moment, the only thing I can do is allow it rest and hope for the best.
