Knee Pain

Knee pain related to over pronation is often described as "A nagging/burning type pain on the inside of the knee joint or underneath the knee cap. This is aggravated by walking long distances or up and down stairs".

This specific type of pain is largely caused by over pronation (rolling in) of the foot. When the foot excessively pronates the entire lower limb internally rotates (twists towards the inside). This causes a shift of the pressures to the inside of the knee joint and underneath the knee cap.  The change in pressure causes the knee and the joint under the patella (knee cap) to wear unevenly.

Over time the uneven wear and tear causes pain.

Docpods orthotics aim to correct the over pronation and restore the lower limb alignment. This stops the internal rotationv of the lower limb and relieves knee pain.
