Now that the weather is finally getting warmer, outdoor summer sports like golf and tennis are on the rise.

Many patients even complain of consistent migraines, which is often a symptom of poor posture.
A knee injury can take a daily toll on the body not only causing pain and disability but also weakening other surrounding muscles when they have to overcompensate for a weak knee.
