Legpain

Freedom
To move

The knees endure a force equivalent to around three times your
body weight. Therefore the more active you are, the more stress
and pressure is exerted through the knees, making it vulnerable to injury.

COMMON CAUSES

The knee is one of the most commonly injured parts of the body. Frequent causes of injuries are damage to ligaments, muscular strains, cartilage damage and tendonitis.

 

SYMPTOMS

• Stiffness and swelling

• The inability to fully flex the knee

• A grinding or popping sensation or noise

• The affected area might be warm to the touch

 

 

pain relief Solution

  • Inflammation in the knee can be alleviated by applying the RICE principle: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation.
  • Once any inflammation subsides, do some gentle mobilising exercises. Symptoms should improve within a few days. If not, it is recommended that you visit your GP for advice.
