Why Your Knee Hurts (and Why It’s Probably Not Your Knee’s Fault!)

Ever feel like your knee just doesn’t trust you anymore? One minute you’re running hills around Lake Minnetonka or crushing your WOD at the gym — and the next, your knee is barking like you’ve aged 40 years overnight.

Here’s the thing: your knee might not actually be the problem. It’s usually the victim of what’s happening above (the hip) or below (the ankle). At Minnesota Movement Chiropractic & Sports Rehab in Excelsior, we see this all the time — athletes, golfers, runners, and weekend warriors dealing with stubborn knee pain that keeps coming back no matter how much they stretch, foam roll, or ice it.

If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. We’ll help you figure out why your knee’s angry, fix the real cause, and get you back to doing what you love — pain-free and stronger than before.

(Spoiler: your knee will thank you, and so will your squat form.)

Anterior Pelvic Tilt / Lower Crossed Syndrome

You know that feeling when your low back is constantly tight, your hips ache after sitting too long, and no amount of stretching seems to fix it? Yeah… that might not just be “getting older” — it could be Lower Crossed Syndrome (aka the lazy glutes + tight hip flexors combo). At Minnesota Movement, we see this all the time — from weekend warriors to high-level athletes.

The good news? This is totally fixable — and faster than you’d think. Whether it’s from sitting all day, training hard without mobility work, or just years of bad movement habits, we’ll help you figure out why your body got here and teach it how to move the right way again.

So if you’ve ever caught yourself wondering why your posture looks more “Instagram slouch” than “Olympic sprinter,” don’t worry — we’ve got you (and your pelvis) covered.
