Knee Pain

Knee pain differs from a knee injury, a swelling, or a diagnosed condition. The pain is its own language. It comes when rising, when climbing stairs, when bending. It pulls, stabs, burns — sometimes dull, sometimes sharp. And often the findings are sobering: no clear structural cause, no clear diagnosis, only the stubborn complaint of a joint that no longer wants to continue as before.

The knee is the largest joint of your body — and at the same time one of the most expressive. It is the hinge between your upright torso and the ground on which you stand. It allows you to bend, to straighten again, to move forward, to stop. It determines how softly you move through life — or how hard.
