The knee joints are very vulnerable to injury as the whole weight of our body and extra forces from running and jumping is often placed through one knee at a time. The knee is also vulnerable to overuse or repetitive strain issues when hip, knee or ankle mechanics are not functioning correctly or there is significantly more work being performed by the knee or weakness in muscles surrounding.

-
A specific diagnosis
