Sore knees are a common complaint that can stem from a variety of factors, notably poor hip and ankle mobility, a weak patellar tendon, and weak leg muscles. Each of these components plays a crucial role in knee health and function, and deficiencies can contribute to discomfort and pain. 🟩 Poor Hip Mobility: The hips play a pivotal role in lower body movement and stability. Limited hip mobility can lead to compensatory movements during activities like walking, running, or squatting, placing extra stress on the knees. This imbalance forces the knees to absorb more impact and workload, leading to soreness. 🟩 Poor Ankle Mobility: Similarly, restricted ankle mobility affects the entire kinetic chain. Inadequate dorsiflexion (the ability to bring the toes closer to the shin) limits proper movement patterns, increasing the likelihood of knee overcompensation during motion. This can strain the knee joint and surrounding muscles, contributing to discomfort. 🟩 Weak Patellar Tendon: The patellar tendon plays a key role in knee stability and force transmission during leg extension movements. A weak patellar tendon can't effectively absorb forces, leading to increased stress and potential soreness in the knee joint, especially during activities that involve jumping or rapid changes in direction. 🟩 Weak Leg Muscles: Strong leg muscles, particularly the quadriceps and hamstrings, support and stabilize the knee. Weakness in these muscles reduces the knee's ability to withstand daily stresses, leading to increased strain and potential injury. Additionally, imbalances between these muscle groups can further exacerbate knee issues.
