Knee pain in athletes and active people is often the result of how the foot and lower leg move together under repeated load, rather than an issue with the knee joint itself. When the feet roll inward more than they should excess pronation it causes internal rotation of the tibia, which can skew the knee joint and place strain on the surrounding muscles and soft tissue over time.

 

Why Training Load Matters

Because sport tends to involve repetitive, higher-force movement running, jumping, cutting, or heavy lifting small biomechanical inefficiencies that might not cause issues in daily life can become genuinely limiting under athletic load. This is why we look at your specific sport and training pattern as part of assessing sports-related knee pain, not just the knee in isolation.

 

Treatment Options We Offer

  • Custom orthotics designed to help manage excess pronation and reduce tibial rotation under load
  • Targeted strengthening for the muscles supporting the knee
  • Foot mobilisation
  • Strapping during flare-ups or return-to-play periods
