Knee pain is a common issue in athletes and the general population. Affecting up to 25% of adults, it is the third most reported musculoskeletal injury after backs and shoulders.
It is often due to either some kind of trauma, an acute injury which has overloaded the joint causing ligament or cartilage damage, or a wear and tear injury that has occurred over time.
If this is not the case, it is usually due to the knee being loaded in a way that it is not supposed to be and therefore is under stress. Stress on the knee can occur when there is a dysfunction coming from higher up in the hip/back or lower down in the ankle/foot.
