Everyone has knee pain but what is the cause to this pain? To be perfectly honest we were never cursed with knee pain and sadly enough we have slowly brought it upon ourselves. Even I experience multiple levels of knee pain and was blessed enough to never had torn any of my ligaments in my knee, but many people have problems with ACL, and MCL, arthritis, and inflammation.
According to one of the nation’s top professional athletic trainers, Jeff Cavalier, one of the most common knee injuries that will start the domino effect pain through the knee is the patella tendon. In detail it is the inflammation of tendon the create pain. What we really need to know is the source to our inflammation, the patella is where the ligament ends and the where it begins either from the top, the muscles connected to your hip, or the bottom, the ankle joint. This all depends on where you have your specific knee pain. If we focus too much on the knee itself we will never figure out the real cause of the pain.
Flat feet is one of the two leading causes in knee pain. Without an arch in your feet your tibia will begin to pull your feet inward causing internal rotation of the knee, the joint then will almost scrape against the side of your bone causing inflammation and pain. The most important thing to know is that men have week hips, not allowing full control of the internal or external rotation of their legs, and with every rep we will see how you will have an over activation of one, this is the most popular in all guys and ladies.
An easy way to fix this find inserts for you shoes that will allow natural arches in your feet. Also seek help from a profession at your local gym. If you don’t take care of certain problems now knee pain can cause major problems in the future. Injury is caused from imbalances in the body, with minor tweaks in your workout program and the right help knee pain will be in the past.
