How To Cure Your Knee Pain




Knee pain is the lower body crippler.

It is not usually the knee itself either but rather referred dysfunction from your hips and ankles.

At Full Circle Fitness we can assess these two joints during static and dynamic posture to pin point the exact problem area that is causing your pain, rather then simply treating the knee itself as so many others do, leaving the actual problem untreated.

Knee pain is a product of a faulty movement movement pattern, in this case, an anterior or quadricep dominant movement pattern, which in turn shifts your center of gravity forward of your base of support and thus, increases the stress at the knee joint.

After mobilising certain joints and then activating a new set of muscles you never knew you had, we can get your body into greater postural positioning to use a more hip dominant movement pattern, decreasing the stress on the knees and shifting some of the stress to the body's strongest area, the glutes and hips.
