Foot, knee and hip problems
including flat feet, over-pronation, over-supination, plantar fasciitis, dropped metatarsals, neuroma, chondromalacia, ITB syndrome, shin splints:
These are all related. It is important to always work with a whole leg, and in fact with a whole body and person. I have a particular interest in this, and have taught classes for therapists devoted just to foot structure and function, as well as classes on integrating the whole leg system.
Movement analysis helps spot useful ways to re-organize troublesome situations. I have helped runners return to running painlessly after injury and wear and tear have limited them to short walks. Many people who struggled to walk at all become able to perform the simple tasks of daily life.
Most knee problems are actually caused by restriction far away from the place of pain. I focus on the cause so you can move past the symptom. I sincerely doubt that most hip or knee surgeries are necessary, and I hope everyone who is considering one will get more information about alternatives. Surgery should be a last resort.
