If you’ve been dealing with knee pain that isn’t improving, the problem may not actually be your knee. The knee relies heavily on how the hips and ankles move and support your body, and when those joints aren’t functioning properly, the knee is forced to overwork — leading to pain. In this video, the team at Momentum Spine & Sports Physiotherapy explains why knee pain is often a symptom, not the source, and how hip weakness, ankle stiffness, and poor movement patterns can all contribute to ongoing discomfort. 👉 In this video, you’ll learn: • How hip weakness and glute imbalance affect knee pain • Why is limited ankle mobility forcing the knee to compensate • Common movement issues during walking, squatting, and stairs • Simple self-checks like the single-leg glute bridge and ankle mobility test • Why generic YouTube knee exercises may not work • When cracking knees are normal — and when to get checked Common questions answered: • Can weak glutes really cause knee pain? • Why do my knees crack when I squat? • How do I know if my ankle is the problem? • When should I see a physiotherapist for knee pain? At Momentum Spine & Sports Physiotherapy, we take a whole-body orthopedic approach, assessing hip strength, ankle mobility, pelvic alignment, muscle balance, and movement patterns to identify the real cause of your knee pain — not just where it hurts. If your knee has been bothering you with no clear injury, it’s time to explore the bigger picture. 📍 Momentum Spine & Sports Physiotherapy – Edmonton Helping you move better, feel stronger, and stay pain-free. 📍 Windermere & Terwillegar 📞 (587) 400-1113 | (587) 409-4495
