What is knee pain?
Every time we stand, walk or run, we need our feet and knees to work in perfect alignment. Foot deformities like flat feet will disrupt this delicate alignment and cause possible knee pain. Some people might even notice that their knees or their child's knees are not straight, but always bent inwards while walking or standing up. This deformity will cause the tendons around the knee to work extremely hard to order to simply stabilize the knee while walking or running. With time, these tendons will get injured or cause pain while growing up.
What causes knee pain?
Since our knees and feet need to work in perfect alignment, any deformity of the feet will cause knee pain, as both structures are connected through a chain of reactions. Knee pain is quite common among runners, since it is usually caused by an overuse of the structure. Potential reasons for knee pain can be flat feet, ankle sprain, injury, weight gain, improper shoes, muscle weakness, improper walking or running gait, etc.
