➡️ Simple Trick to Fix Knee Pain & Stiffness⬅️⠀
⠀
🔸WHAT IS THIS?🔸⠀
Using some common household items, you jimmy-rig a "device" to mitigate or even completely reduce knee pain and or stiffness.⠀
⠀⠀
🔸WHAT'S IT WORKING?🔸⠀
Most "it came out of nowhere" #kneepain and stiffness results in the inability to straighten the knee. More times than not it will require restoring that full range of motion (knee extension). There are plenty of ways to regain knee extension, but this gentle and sustained load applied to the #knee can be quite helpful when active #movement doesn't do the trick, and the source of the problem is not coming from somewhere else like the spine (topic for another time)! 😁⠀
⠀
🔸WHY SHOULD I CARE?🔸⠀
Short bouts of knee pain rarely require medical intervention, where many resolve on their own with simply time and movement.⠀
⠀
Typically, when you see your primary care physician for a knee problem it leads to a referral to #physicaltherapy or the #ortho surgeon. Though there is no inherent problem with a referral to a professional, many times, this can lead to unnecessary tests an procedures, especially if your an older individual.⠀
⠀
Just because you have knee pain doesn't mean you need an MRI. If you get an MRI of your knee, it may show arthritis, degeneration, or a tear. Just because you have those does not mean it's the cause of your knee pain!⠀
⠀
There are current studies showing procedures like a knee meniscus repair is no better than placebo!⠀
⠀
By all means, if you're suffering from chronic and debilitating knee pain, and have exhausted conservative measures, and have had a thorough biomechanical evaluation, medical intervention, e.g., imaging, injection, surgery, may be your next best step.⠀
⠀
The point is don't immediately jump to invasive measures especially when dealing with a short bout of knee pain that came out of nowhere!⠀
