Knee Pain Relief
Acupressure Mat is the best pain solution in your knee pain management
Acupressure Mat (Tibetan Applicator) makes it easy to get rid of Knee Pain quickly and for good.
How to use your
Acupressure Mat to treat Knee Pain
Your applicator should be placed on the outer and side parts of the knee joint, making sure that the points are not directly over nerves or veins.
Please do not use your applicator in the hollow of the knees. Once your applicator is positioned it should be secured using an elastic bandage. Apply sufficient pressure to induce a moderate pricking pain. The treatment should last between 20 and 60 minutes or until the joint pain disappears. The length of the treatment period depends on the severity of your condition and differs from person to person. Whilst using the applicator on joints it is a good idea to move and bend your joints slowly. In doing so, you will increase the effectiveness of the applicator. 
The knee is a vulnerable and potentially unstable joint. The largest and most complicated joint, the knee is used for everything from standing up, sitting, to walking, running, etc. It's a weight-bearing joint that straightens, bends, twists and rotates. All this motion increases your risk of acute or overuse knee injuries.
Problems with knees are common and there are many causes. Acute knee injuries (including torn ligaments and torn cartilage) are often caused by twisting the knee or falling. Sports that involve running and jumping and sudden stopping and turning, such as soccer, basketball, volleyball, tennis, and baseball, as well as contact sports such as football, wrestling, and hockey increase the risk of an acute knee injury. But more common than sudden knee injuries are injuries caused by overuse or overload.
Overuse knee injuries
(including muscle strain, tendonitis and bursitis) may develop gradually over days or weeks. Pain is often mild and intermittent in the beginning and worsens over time. When muscles and tendons are stressed even slightly beyond their capabilities, microscopic tears occur. (Inflammation, which is part of the healing process, is what causes the pain). These tears must be given a chance to heal before subjected to the same activity to avoid overuse injury. Treat overuse injuries early to prevent chronic problems.
Knee osteoarthritis
is a common cause of knee pain. The risk increases with age. Osteoarthritis is a form of arthritis involving degeneration of the cartilage. Exercise is vital to maintain strength and flexibility of muscles supporting the knee, which reduces the stress on the knee joint.
Runners knee
(also called patellofemoral pain or anterior knee pain) is a common cause of knee pain in young people (not just in runners). The pain is usually diffuse pain behind the kneecap. Symptoms often worsen after climbing stairs, jumping, running, or after a period of sitting. Caused by poor tracking of the kneecap. Stay away from high-impact activity if you have this condition.
Prevent knee pain
by keeping the muscles that support your knees strong and flexible. Start out slowly. Walk before you run - before you engage in a strenuous high impact activity such as jogging or running, try walking for a week. If walking causes knee pain, you shouldn't be running. Warm up and stretch before working out. Give your body a chance to recover from exercise. If you do high impact activities take every other day off. Avoid running up and down stairs and full squats. Doing knee exercises to strengthen and stretch the muscles that support the knee are vital for knee pain and injury prevention. Proper footwear is also important, especially if walking or running on hard surfaces. Keep your weight under control. Reducing one's weight reduces stress upon the knee.
