Get Back to the Life That Moves You
When your knees hurt, everything from standing up to taking a walk can feel like a challenge. Pain may stop you from climbing stairs, getting a good night’s sleep, or enjoying the outdoors like you used to.
At Align Renew Thrive, we understand that chronic or recurring knee pain isn’t just about discomfort—it’s about losing momentum, confidence, and freedom. That’s why our approach restores more than the joint—it reconnects your entire body to the limb support it was designed to have.
What Causes Knee Pain?
A somatic perspective on structural overload
Knee pain often stems from more than just wear and tear. From a somatic and alignment perspective, it’s typically the result of poor mechanical loading patterns. When your feet, hips, or core are misaligned, your knees take on too much of the workload, often in one area—leading to pain, strain, and eventually inflammation or degeneration.
Whether it’s osteoarthritis, tracking issues, or tension in the surrounding muscles and fascia, we look at how your entire body is coordinating movement—and help restore the balance your knees need to function freely again.
