Knee pain is not solely attributed to worn-out cartilage; it also involves soft tissues such as the joint, tendon, and joint sac surrounding the knee. These structures are often subject to tears or overloading. This pain can persist despite surgery or medication. So, what causes pain in the surrounding areas of the knee? It is primarily caused by the twisting of the supporting foot below the knee and the twisting of the pelvis, which adjusts the knee from above.

As a result of this leg twist, the feet and pelvis become misaligned, leading to knee torsion. This twisting of the knee sensitizes ligaments, tendons, and muscles, making them susceptible to even minor irritations, ultimately resulting in knee pain.

The knee, composed of the two longest bones in the human body, forms a joint. Even a slight imbalance in the foot or pelvis can easily cause twisting when the lengths of the leg bones differ. Additionally, the knee is susceptible to distortion due to its position between the pelvis, which serves as the central axis of our body balance, and the foot, which acts as the fundamental axis of balance. Remarkably, 70% of knee pain can be attributed to foot imbalance, as highlighted in recent academic research. The imbalance in the foot leads to knee torsion, resulting in pain. Furthermore, the remaining 30% of cases do not arise from knee cartilage degeneration or joint issues but rather from knee distortion caused by pelvic imbalance. It is possible to treat knee pain and prevent its recurrence without resorting to surgery through appropriate treatment of the feet and pelvis.
