Knee
Knee pain can stem from a variety of factors, including poor biomechanics, muscular tension, and lifestyle choices. In many cases, issues such as inadequate posture and mobility contribute to instability in the lower extremities, leading to discomfort. Moreover, inefficient hip or foot stabilization strategies are often responsible for these pains unless there has been an acute trauma. Additionally, irritated soft tissue structures can exacerbate the situation, making it essential to address the underlying causes to promote recovery and enhance overall function.

Conditions We Treat
Patellar Tendonitis
Patellar tendonitis, or patellar tendonopathy, is an inflammatory condition of the patellar tendon caused by repetitive strain from muscular imbalances, particularly in the quadriceps or hip flexors. This imbalance increases stress on the tendon during activities like jumping or running. Correcting these asymmetries is vital for reducing tension on the tendon, aiding recovery, and enhancing knee function. With proper interventions, relief and injury prevention are possible.

IT Band Syndrome
IT Band syndrome is a common overuse injury in runners and cyclists, marked by tightness in the iliotibial (IT) band, leading to knee bursae compression. Symptoms are typically felt on the outer knee but can occur along the IT band. This condition often results from excessive tension in the IT band due to weak gluteus medius muscles, causing excessive leg adduction during activities. Improving strength and flexibility is essential for management and prevention.

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) is pain around the kneecap, often with swelling. It usually results from muscle imbalances that affect kneecap tracking during movement.
