Buttocks and Legs
Here in this section, we look at pain in the lower parts of the body, including the ankles, knees and legs. Most lower limb pain results from wear and tear in the joints, or overuse and injuries in the bones muscles, ligaments, tendons or other soft tissues. Many types of leg pain can be caused by poor biomechanical alignment - put simply, how you stand and move. What is also interesting is that some types of lower limb pain are linked to problems in the lower back and hips.
In this section, we look at some of the different types of pain that occur in the lower limbs, what the causes are and how you can treat them.
