Knee arthritis doesn’t always start at the knee.
Excessive foot pronation (where the ankle rolls inward) can increase pressure through the inside of the knee. Over time, this affects alignment through the hip and contributes to joint stress and cartilage wear.
We work closely with physios and orthopaedic specialists to treat knee pain at the source with a whole lower limb approach.
This may include:
• Strength and conditioning to improve ankle stability
• Footwear assessment
• Prescription of custom orthotics to support alignment and reduce joint loading
Research shows that foot orthoses can help redistribute forces through the ankle and knee, reducing stress on the medial knee and assisting in the management of osteoarthritis.
