text: what are some good remedies for a knee sore from running? i'm a long distance runner and pole vaulter on a school team. probably the standards, ice and heat. maybe a whirlpool bath to keep things loose. e asy stretching after the run, but not too much before a workout. so... light workout, then stretch, then the heavy workout.  afterwards, another stretch, and then any therapy you feel is helpful, such as the ice, etc...  but, if you have a structural issue, it may never resolve. it might be a good idea to see a medical professional to verify you you are not causing 'future damage' to your knee by virtue of toughing through your activity.  it would be a shame to have a lifetime of knee problems because you didn't know you had a chronic knee issue.
