One critical piece of taking care of your knees is making sure that the tibiofemoral (knee) joint is in proper alignment. If the evaluation reveals any muscle tightness or weakness, then corrective exercises will be prescribed to address those needs. A third, and a commonly overlooked piece in taking care of knees is assessing YOUR individual biomechanics with functional movements such as walking, standing, squatting which could also be a cause of undue stress on the knee joint if these activities are performed efficiently based on YOUR body type.
