Mechanism of Dysfunction   The predisposing factors for the development of this condition began with a misalignment dysfunction at the pelvis/hip complex, which overtime causes  the  soft tissue ligamentous, muscle and cartilage to become overloaded and...

Meniscus Injuries causes pain and inflammation at the level of the joint line, and significant restriction (locking) on the end range movements of knee flexion and extension. Is important to note that for the meniscus to become injured, the previous defence mechanisms...

Knee maltracking refers to the inappropriate patella position within the patellofemoral groove. This condition if left untreated my develop into chondromalacia patella which is a chronic degenerative disease at the cartilage underneath the patella. Bone spur...

Knee sprains tends to cause significant pain and inflammation as per the number of tissues being damage and compromised from the trauma. Morning stiffness and reduced joint overall movement are common symptoms reported by patients. Common Knee misalignments...

The alignment of the knee and pelvic girdle and to a lesser extend the Hip joint are key structures involved and responsible for maintaining the health and resilient of the soft tissue support. All the knee muscles have their origin attachment on pelvis and inserted...

The most common patella dislocation occurs to the lateral or outer side of the knee. Medial (inner) dislocation is rare and mainly occurs from a direct trauma. The main predisposing factor for lateral dislocation is the femur rotational misalignments that shift the...

Assessment The entire Lower extremity biomechanical chain must be evaluated as per the neurological and mechanical influences of the pelvis, hip, and foot. Clinical evaluation of the knee and patella alignment as well as visualizing the pattern of compensation...

Knee valvus and vaurs deformities and the corresponding misalignments Valgus; Internally rotated pelvis and Internal femur  misalignments. May lead medial collateral ligament and meniscus damage Varus; Externally rotated pelvis and external femur misalignments. May...

Neurological syndromes and the corresponding knee misalignment. Peroneal nerve entrapment – Posterior fibula dysfunction. This nerve is a branch of the sciatic nerve as it passes behind the knee and wraps around the fibula head as it travels down the leg. Compression...
