KNEE PAIN
Knee pain accompanies more than 25% of the population… It can be caused by weak or tight muscles and tendons surrounding the joint. When the muscles and tendons around the knee are weak, they may struggle to provide adequate support and stability, leading to increased stress on the joint and potential pain or discomfort. Strengthening and stretching exercises targeting the muscles and tendons around the knee, such as the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calf muscles, can help alleviate pain and improve joint function.
TRIGGER POINTS is an area of contracted muscle fibres that can be highly sensitive, causing pain and stiffness within muscles. Pain associated with TP can vary from sharp and intense to a dull ache. Trigger points affect the whole function of a muscle causing spasm and weakness and can form due to overuse, injury or post surgery etc
Deep Tissue Massage or Trigger Pointing can help to alleviate pain, using direct pressure onto the TP. Subsequently the muscle fibres can be relaxed, circulation increased to the effected area, range of motion increased and waste products removed. The removal of waste products in soft tissues can reduce muscular pain, tightness and fatigue.
