Knee Pain

Your knee pain has a strong connection with your feet and the rest of your lower limbs and in fact, they may be causing the pain you're experiencing.

It's common for knee pain to be caused by poor foot posture and biomechanics. Poor foot posture can lead to an altered walking pattern, which can put more strain on certain knee structures such as the joints and soft tissues.

Particularly, if you have flat feet or rotation issues, this is likely to be causing your knee pain as these conditions can force the knee to roll inwards into an abnormal position when you're standing, walking or running. People with high arches in their feet may also experience knee pain, as the feet are unable to successfully absorb shock from every day activities, putting more strain on the knee. 

If not treated properly or left untreated, knee pain can impact the way you walk, and long term poor foot posture can cause pain or problems in your hips, lower back, and areas up to your neck.
