Knee pain as a result of a biomechanical
foot imbalance
If your feet roll in (pronation) or roll out (supination)
you are effectively trying to walk/run on an unstable base.
These alterations in the alignment of the foot can also alter
the alignment of the lower leg bone (tibia) in relation to
the knee. The alignment of the knee joint and in particular
of the kneecap (patella) can also be altered. Over time or
with loaded stress as happens during sport, inflammation can
gradually build up behind the kneecap. This is a common cause
of insidious knee pain that commonly affects those who run
regularly.
