4. As a Physical Therapist, honestly it's usually the knees and the problem with the knees is usually the feet.

But the feet usually aren’t part of a check up so by the time people get to me the knees need to be replaced and the feet are still bad.
But all too often patients are sent in for “balance” and no one checks the feet and knees so the patient gets marched in circles on damaged knees and feet.
