Knee Pain

Barring any muscle or ligament tears, my clients’ knee pain often has a simple cause: unbalanced muscle tension that pulls the bones out of alignment. With ongoing use, the cartilage thins and bones “rub,” causing osteoarthritis, aka bone inflammation.

In plain language, osteoarthritis in a knee is caused by one or more tight muscles pulling hard on that knee.

When the unbalanced tension is resolved, and the pressure squeezing the bones together is relieved, the bone inflammation can heal. The body is amazing that way.
