The knee that won’t settle

- Recovery
Six weeks after a twist and it still swells after a walk. Why rest alone rarely fixes it, and what does.

How Joost works
I look at injuries the way a coach looks at a season: how much load, how fast, and what changed before it started to hurt. An ultrasound in the room means we often know more by the end of the first visit.
You leave with a load plan in weeks, not a list of things to avoid. Most runners I see keep running while they recover.

Sleep after an injury
- Sleep
- Pain
Pain keeps you up, and lost sleep makes pain louder. How to break the loop without counting hours.

Twelve weeks is a guide, not a finish line. What to check before your first run, and how to build up.
