Trouble with Knee Pain? Check Your Hips First!

Tight quads can contribute to knee pain, but there's often more to it! When your pelvis is misaligned (like tilted forward or rotated), it can limit how your hips rotate and move. Your knees are forced to compensate — often twisting or collapsing inward with every step.

Without good hip rotation, your knees must 'absorb' the lost motion — often by twisting or collapsing inward (valgus stress). By restoring hip and pelvic mobility, we give your knees a chance to move the way they’re designed to — reducing pain and improving overall stability."

Remember our knees are meant to track in a smooth line when you walk, run, or squat.  Over time, this abnormal movement can cause:

• Knee pain (especially at the front or inside of the knee)

• Wear and tear on ligaments and cartilage

• Reduced stability during exercise or daily activities

Restoring pelvic balance and hip mobility often relieves knee strain naturally — without endless bracing or focusing on the knee alone!

If your knee pain isn't improving with knee-only treatments, it might be time to look above the knee.
