Pain in the shoulder, elbow, knee, or ankle is often associated with sports injuries, but it’s not always caused by athletic activity. Repetitive stress from physical labor or even desk work can cause similar patterns of tension and imbalance. Whether it’s from a single incident or ongoing overuse, joint pain is often a symptom of a deeper problem.

For example, a hamstring injury isn't just a pulled muscle—it can be a sign of underlying pelvic instability, core weakness, or poor lower back biomechanics.

​

Similarly, shoulder pain can arise from scapular instability, knee pain from poor hip control, and ankle injuries from poor balance and coordination.

The key is not just treating the pain, but understanding and correcting the imbalance that led to it in the first place.

By addressing movement dysfunction, improving stability and reducing compensation patterns, we can help restore proper function, prevent further injury and improve overall resilience.
