Three reasons why your knee pain might be coming from your lower leg
1. Lack of foot stability 🦶
Think of your foot as a triangle: big toe, little toe, and heel. These three points help create a stable base for movement.
If too much of your weight shifts toward one point, it can change how your ankle, knee, and hip work together and how force is distributed.
Next time your knees bother you while squatting or stepping up, check your feet. Can you feel all three points of your foot?
2. Lack of ankle mobility
When you squat or go up and down stairs, your shin needs to move forward over your foot as your ankle bends.
If your ankle doesn't have enough mobility, your body may compensate by changing how your foot, knee, or hip moves.
So if your knees bother you during these activities, don't just look at your knees. Look at your ankles, too.
3. Your base of support
The position of your feet creates your base of support. A wide, narrow, or neutral stance can change how your feet, knees, and hips work together and where pressure is distributed.
Neither a wide nor narrow stance is automatically better. Sometimes simply changing your foot position can change how a movement feels.
