Knee pain is often caused by imbalances in other areas of the body like the hips and ankles rather than issues directly with the knee. An osteopath can examine the entire lower limb to determine the source of the imbalance and provide osteopathic treatment and a rehabilitation plan using exercises to improve mobility, muscle activation, and strength in order to restore optimal function to the lower limb and reduce knee pain. Common treatments involve stretching, range of motion exercises for the ankles, and strengthening exercises for the hips.
