Knee Pain
The knee sits at the mercy of the foot and hip — which is exactly why a podiatrist can help.
Knee pain from the ground up
It might seem surprising to see a podiatrist for knee pain, but the foot has a powerful influence on the knee. The way your foot strikes the ground and the way your leg rotates above it can load the knee in ways that cause pain — which is why we assess the whole lower-limb chain, not just the joint that hurts.
Treatment & exercises
Where biomechanics are contributing, orthotic therapy and footwear changes can reduce the load on the knee. We pair these with rehabilitative exercises to build strength and control, addressing the cause rather than just the symptom.
How Auckland Sports Podiatry can help
We look at your knee in the context of your whole lower limb and gait. If your foot or leg mechanics are driving the pain, orthotic therapy, footwear changes and targeted exercises can take the load off the knee.
Every plan starts with finding the true cause of your pain. From there we may combine orthotic therapy, footwear advice, strengthening and stretching, strapping or bracing, gait changes and activity modification — whatever gets you moving comfortably again.
