Conditions
Knee pain
Knee pain depends on the knee and on how the hip, foot and posture work together. A strong plan targets drivers, not only symptoms.
Gonalgia is knee pain, whether at the front, inside, outside or back of the joint. It can show up with stairs, running, squatting or after long periods of sitting.
Common contributors include activity overload, sudden training changes, hip weakness, ankle stiffness, altered plantar support and poor control during lowering or landing tasks.
If it persists, it may limit sport and daily life, cause recurrent swelling and increase stress on other areas through compensation. It can also reduce confidence to move.
At Kinésica we integrate hands-on care and movement retraining: osteopathy to restore mobility in the hip/ankle when relevant, targeted manual manipulations, and muscle-chain work plus RPG to refine posture and loading mechanics.
Assessment includes gait and squat analysis, glute strength and knee control. Sessions progress with dosed exercise, functional training and clear guidance to return to running or training.
Approach at Kinésica
Techniques are paired with progressive exercise for a more resilient knee.
Frequently asked questions
What are the most frequent causes of non-traumatic knee pain?
Patellofemoral pain syndrome, patellar tendinopathy, and asymmetric joint compartment loading driven by lower-limb biomechanical faults are the most common non-impact triggers.
Why do hip weakness or flat feet directly affect the knee joint?
The knee sits between the hip and foot. Weak hip abductors or excessive foot pronation cause internal femoral rotation, disrupting patellar tracking and overloading cartilage.
