3 simple stretches against knee pain
Knee pain can have various causes and it is important to support your knees as well as possible. Regular stretching and the use of supporting products, such as a knee brace, can help to reduce pain and improve mobility. Below we share three simple stretches that you can do daily to relieve your knees.
1. Calf rack against the wall
This stretch helps to relieve voltage in the calf muscles, which can reduce the pressure on your knees.
How do you do it:
Place both hands against a wall. Put one leg forward with the knee bent and stretch the other leg backwards, staying on the floor. Hold the rack for 20-30 seconds and then change legs. Repeat this 2-3 times per leg.
2. Steps rack
This stretch focuses on the calf muscles and helps improve the flexibility of the muscles around your knees.
How do you do it:
Stand with the ball of your foot on the edge of a staircase and lower your heels slowly. Feel a soft rack in your calves and hold this position for 20-30 seconds. Repeat this 2-3 times for optimum results.
3. Towel rack
An excellent stretch for your hamstrings, which often contributes to knee pain when they are too tight.
How do you do it:
Sit down with your legs stretched out before you out. Wrap a towel around the ball of your foot and gently pull on the towel as you keep your leg stretched. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds and change legs. Do this 2-3 times per leg.
Supporting products
In addition to performing these stretches, the use of supporting products, such as our ergonomic knee brace, is essential for optimum knee -rack. Our knee brace helps improve stability, which reduces pressure on the joint and increases your mobility. Combine the stretches with wearing the knee brace for the best results.
