Poor ankle flexibility increases the risk of knee pain. When a person has limited ankle dorsiflexion, the knees can move inwards at an unnatural angle while in a sitting position. Activities that require the ankle to flex a lot often trigger knee pain in these instances. If ankle mobility is limited in any direction, it places added stress on the knees. Over time, this can lead to knee pain or injury.
