Knee pain from lower leg rotation
I made a post a while ago about lower leg rotation and a couple of mobility/ activation drills you can do.
Lower leg rotation can not only have an effect on the appearance of posture but also on leverage point and cause pain at "weak links in the chain."
Some of these areas are the foot/ankle, tibia(shin splints), knee, hip, and even higher up. Of course, this isn't always the only reason why you have pain in these areas, but it can be a good place to look. Since it can be pretty noticeable.
In this case, I looked up the chain, using cupping to work on some "collateral damage" (secondary pain), and worked manually (hands-on) on the foot and ankle, that was primary culprit.
