Knee Pain
Are you experiencing neck pain? Knee and lower leg pain can be caused by repetitive stress, poor movement patterns or trauma. Pain at the knee usually presents at the joint line, above or below the knee cap or on either side depending on the cause of injury. Knee pain can create imbalances up the chain if not addressed and create hip, pelvis, and low back pain and discomfort.
Iliotibial Band Syndrome:
Patellar Tendonitis
Patellar tendonitis or tendinopathy is a condition where the patellar tendon become inflamed. Symptoms are usual present under the knee cap below the joint. It can be sharp, dull, or achy. This is most often due to repetitive strain from hip flexor / quad tension and muscular imbalance / weakness in the hips and legs.
Shin Splints
If you have shin splints, you might notice tenderness, soreness or pain along the side of your shinbone and mild swelling in your lower leg. At first, the pain might stop when you stop exercising. The increased activity overworks the muscles, tendons and bone tissue. Eventually, however, the pain can be continuous and might progress to a stress reaction or stress fracture.
