What's the problem...Not what you think

Many of us have knee pain. However, there's a really good chance that the pain we experience in our knee is only a symptom and not the problem. There are two possible scenarios that could be causing your knee pain.
1) Tight Psoas - Tight psoas inhibits/turns-off your glutes thus limiting the amount of force that your glutes can normally produce. In part, the glutes are responsible for decelerating femoral internal rotation. Therefore, if the glutes are limited in force production (inhibited) then they could lose the ability to decelerate femoral interal rotation. And repeated, uncontrolled femoral internal rotation can increase loads placed on the knee creating knee pain. Tight Psoas COULD cause knee pain.
2) Ankle Restriction - Ankle restrictions such as after an ankle sprain inhibits the glutes - which as stated above can reduce the ability to control internal rotation and adduction of the femur. When this happens, the IT band can tighten causing stress at the knee. In addition, an ankle sprain can cause ankle restrictions in the sagittal plane, causing increased movement in the frontal and transverse planes at the knee. Ankle restrictions COULD cause knee pain
Train Hard. Train Smart.
