Why Your Knees Always Hurt - Hip Rotation, Gait Cycle, and Knee Pain

Knee pain is a common complaint that can greatly impact daily life and mobility. While it might seem counterintuitive, the source of knee pain can often be traced back to issues higher up in the body – specifically, incorrect hip rotation during the gait cycle. In this blog, we'll explore the intricate relationship between hip rotation, the gait cycle, and knee pain, shedding light on how these factors are interconnected and how they contribute to discomfort.

How To Fix Scoliosis: A Functional Approach

Fixing scoliosis requires a holistic approach that takes into account the root cause of why the scoliosis occurred in the first place. Step one is therefore taking gait analysis to identify what movement patterns, tightness, looseness, pressure difference ect are contributing to the curve. Next, exercises and lifestyle changes that correct these root cause imbalances are implemented.

Why You Experience 'Unexplained' & Ongoing Pain.

if you are experiencing pain, SOMETHING is not right. That ‘something’ may not be tissue damage, but there is damage to some part or system in the body. If somebody tells you nothing is wrong when you’ve been chronically in pain, kindly ignore it. There are a few consistent themes that flow through all of these pain types. Dehydrated fascia is almost always a factor in chronic, unexplained pain. Incorrect loading and movement patterns also play a massive role. In fact, incorrect biomechanics is the leading cause of dehydrated fascia. Incorrect biomechanics also leads to nerve compression, nociceptive pain, dys-regulated pain modulation and neurological changes.
