Knees can be particularly susceptible to injury and misalignment and malfunction of the foot or ankle can contribute to and exacerbate knee injuries and problems.
Normal function of the knee is dependent on the correct biomechanics between the foot and pelvis. Misalignment of either of these and the knee becomes highly vulnerable to injury and pain.
A thorough biomechanical assessment and gait analysis will determine the ultimate cause and enable effective treatment and rehabilitation to be prescribed.
Treating complaints before they become significant will help to avoid recurrent injury and pain, and irreparable damage. We will work with specialists when required to make use of the full range of treatments available such as functional orthoses, rehabilitation, core stability programmes, acupuncture, injection therapy and surgery.
