Knee Pain
When people feel knee pain, there can be a problem with the knee itself, though it is often the result of a hip or ankle problem. If the ankle or hip is unstable or does not move properly, an increased load will be put through the knee resulting in damage to the knee joint.
However most providers limit their examinations to the knee itself and miss the actual cause of the problem. So when dealing with knee pain (whether that be an onset of pain overtime or an athlete suffering from a blow to the knee), a functional examination is an absolute must.
