That said, in many cases, running can actually be good for your knees. "Movement is absolutely essential for healthy joints," says James N. Robinson, M.D ., sports medicine physician at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), and weight-bearing exercises like running help build and maintain strong and healthy bones.

Dr. Matthew Hartwell, a sports medicine physician, explains in an MSN article that running can actually benefit knee health, contrary to the common belief that it causes knee damage. He highlights that running strengthens the muscles around the knee, which helps stabilize and support the joint. Additionally, running can improve bone density, reducing the risk of conditions like osteoarthritis. Dr. Hartwell emphasizes that proper running form and appropriate footwear are crucial to minimize injury risk, and he advises that individuals with existing knee issues should consult a doctor before starting a running program. The article underscores the importance of a balanced approach to running to maintain knee health.
