Years of Soccer Knee Pain Explained & Corrected (PEX Tibia Adjustment)

Years of knee pain from soccer injuries often come down to missed biomechanics, not just “wear and tear.” In this visit, Dr. Rahim explains a PEX tibia misalignment — where the tibia rotates posteriorly on the external side, pulling on the lateral capsule and affecting the collateral meniscus. When this happens, a capsular bulge forms — and if that capsule isn’t reduced before the adjustment, the correction won’t hold. Using a knee model, Dr. Rahim breaks down: ✔️ Why the lateral capsule must be reduced first ✔️ How capsule tension blocks long-term correction ✔️ The exact Gonstead extremity protocol for stability After performing a lateral capsule reduction, followed by a specific Gonstead knee adjustment, the knee is taped using functional elastic kinesiology tape in the precise order of correction to help the adjustment hold. The patient immediately walked it off — including heel-to-toe stability testing — reporting smoother movement and improved knee stability. This is why specificity matters in chronic knee injuries. 📍 Los Angeles | Dubai 📌 Gonstead Method | Extremity Chiropractic #KneePain #SoccerInjury #PEXtibia #GonsteadMethod #ChiropracticCare #SportsInjuryRecovery #Biomechanics #KneeStability #AthleteRecovery #DrRahim
