Knee Pain from Non-Use

The more sedentary you are, the more likely you will be to develop pain in your joints when you do need to move.

When your knees are used regularly, they can get stiff and become less flexible.

Even a 10 minute walk every day can help with knee stiffness.

Neuromuscular massage can help you maintain your range of motion and eliminate pain.

Recovering from a Knee Injury

If you have had a significant knee injury, you may need pain relief, physical therapy, massage and other therapies such as aquatherapy to regain muscle balance.

We strongly caution against the use of opioids, except immediately after surgery, and in order to withstand the rigors of physical therapy in the first few days after therapy begins.

Please work with your physician, physical therapist, and massage therapist, to reduce the need for opioids within a short period of time after surgery. Addiction to these drugs can be devastating.

Neuromuscular massage can help you regain your range of motion and eliminate pain.

Knee Injury

Most knee injuries are caused from sudden stops or starts. Sudden pain in the knee should be evaluated for sprains or tears.

Once a diagnosis is made that does not involve surgery, massage can greatly relieve the pain of the injury.

Neuromuscular massage can help you maintain your range of motion and eliminate pain.

Knee Pain

Without an obvious injury, knee pain is a sign that you’re experiencing some wear and tear on the cartilage that protects the femur (thigh bone), patella (knee cap), and tibia (lower leg bone).

Stop listening to the old adage, “no pain, no gain.” If there’s pain, stop the activity that is causing it, until the pain is relieved.

Neuromuscular massage can help you maintain your range of motion and eliminate pain.

Common Trigger Point #5 — Leg or Knee Pain

The lateral part of the leg contains a dominant muscle group that can be responsible for stiffness and fatigue in the upper leg but can also be a cause of “runner’s knee.”

Other people who may experience problems with trigger point #5 are bicyclists and horseback riders. A neuromuscular massage can relieve the pain associated with trigger point #5.

If You Run or Bike and Have Knee Pain …

If you have pain on the outside of your knee and you run or bike, you could have iliotibial band syndrome or IT Band Syndrom for short. It is caused by overuse and is common in athletes who run or bike long distances. Most of the time, it manifests as pain at the outside of the knee, but the problem could be anywhere along the IT Band which runs from the hip to the knee. Neuromuscular massage can get to the root of the problem, thereby relieving the pain.
