You might’ve heard that only when the knees are positioned directly over the heels are they “perfectly” aligned — and that any deviation can lead to pain and injury. But the knee is not so fragile. In fact, the knee naturally moves in various directions and can safely move back and forth over the toes. “It’s not only OK for this to happen; it’s necessary for life and for sports,” explains kinesiologist David Mariani, BA, CSCS, a personal trainer and strength and conditioning specialist.
