You’ve rested, stretched, strengthened, maybe even had imaging—and yet, your knee pain lingers. If treatments haven’t helped, it’s time to look beyond the joint.

🧠 What Is Fascia—and Why It Matters for Knee Pain

Fascia is a thin but strong tissue that wraps around muscles, joints, ligaments, and bones. When it’s tight, inflamed, or scarred, it can pull on the knee joint and surrounding muscles—causing pain, stiffness, and instability without any visible injury.

Fascial restrictions around the knee can:

• Compress the patella (kneecap)

• Limit range of motion

• גורם pain during walking, squatting, or stairs

• Lead to misalignment and chronic inflammation

This often goes undiagnosed—and untreated.
