Common Conditions

Although direct impacts or trauma to the foot, knee or hip will cause inflammation and damage to these joints, it is a normal pattern that a foot issue can cause compensatory changes in the knee, hip and then alignment of the hips. This in return can cause changes in pelvic stabilising muscles and essentially cause lower back pain, postural changes and more.

The body is seen as an incredibly well built and designed organism where everything works in harmony to keep it functioning at its best. This unfortunately can mean that if the spine, pelvis and shoulders are not in adequate alignment, as it moves through open chain (picking up a glass of water) and closed chain (bending over to pick up something) movements, patterns are created that lead to pain and joint dysfunction.
