Symptoms and Body Signals
When it comes to knee pain, your body might be trying to tell you something important. You might experience stiffness, swelling, or pain that increases with activity. Many people notice decreased stability and pain that forces them to pause while walking. In severe cases, the discomfort can even disturb your sleep.
These symptoms are your body’s way of saying, “Hey, something’s not right here!” It’s crucial to listen to these signals, as they can significantly impact your daily life. Remember, knee pain can manifest in various areas, including the joint itself, the sides, back, or front of the knee, and around the kneecap.
Causes
The leading cause of knee pain is one-sided movements resulting in excessive tension in your muscles and fasciae. Several factors contribute to this tension:
- Prolonged sitting: Our modern lifestyle often involves extended periods of sitting, which can lead to muscle imbalances and increased tension.
- Limited range of motion: We typically use only about 10% of our full joint range, leading to inflexibility in certain muscle groups.
- Unbalanced movement patterns: Repetitive motions or favoring one side can create muscular imbalances.
- Improper footwear or posture: These can alter your gait and put uneven stress on your knee joints.
- Sports-related stress: Certain activities, especially those involving jumping or rapid direction changes, can increase tension in specific muscle groups.
- Age-related changes: As we age, our muscles and fasciae may become less flexible, contributing to increased tension.
It’s important to note that while cartilage wear (osteoarthritis) is often blamed for knee pain, the pain itself comes from the surrounding tissues, not the cartilage itself.

Additional Important Information
It’s crucial to understand that knee pain isn’t just about wear and tear or age. In fact, studies have shown that many common treatments, such as arthroscopy or hyaluronic acid injections, often provide little long-term benefit. Surprisingly, even artificial knee joints don’t always resolve pain issues. This is because these treatments don’t address the underlying muscular-fascial tensions that are often the real culprits behind your discomfort.
