Clinical Case - Cyclist with Knee Pain

In this Clinical Case episode we break down real clinical cases just as they land on our face sheet. In each episode, we’ll walk through our initial impressions, apply the five pillars of Athletic Performance Therapy, and dive into the clinical reasoning behind our hypotheses. We’ll share the key questions we want answered, the red or green flags we’re watching for, and the evaluation and education pearls that guide our decision-making. Today’s case features a 67-year-old competitive cyclist with knee pain—an athlete who pushes the limits of age and endurance. We’ll explore what might be driving his symptoms, what systems we’re prioritizing, and how we tailor treatment for performance at any age.
