Shin splints can usually be linked to overloading the muscles of the lower extremities with high mileage running programs, hard running surfaces, high impact activities (sprinting, jumping) or they can also be attributed to biomechanical and/or anatomical irregularities.
As you recently learned about faulty gait mechanics due to tibial torsion in the knee, another common cause of knee pain with physical activity is limited hip range of motion (ROM). It is vital that your pelvis, hip, knee and foot joints maintain full ROM when performing any sort of high-impact movements such as running.
There are many causes of knee pain that could stem from an early age. The term “pigeon toe” is often times derived from a clinical diagnosis called Tibial Torsion.
The meniscus of your knee is cartilage that acts as a cushion and shack absorber between your femur and tibia.
Patellofemoral pain is a catch-all term to describe pain in the front of the knee around the kneecap(patella).
