Get soothing relief from everyday tensions that occur in the joints.
A regime of both massage and stretching usually helps aching knees. Begin by massaging the quadriceps muscles (large upper leg muscles above the knee) with the Deep Tissue Massager, which contain the trigger points often associated with knee pain. With legs stretched out in front of you, begin with a firm massage of the front/centre of the quad, using short, repeated strokes in one direction. Next, massage the inner thigh, just above the knee, using the same technique, followed by a firm massage of the length of the outer thigh.
A gentle massage of the kneecap should follow, which will relax ligaments, tendons and muscles. The Flex Cordless Vibration Massager will allow you to easily manoeuvre awkward areas. Begin with the top of the kneecap, moving outward with short stokes. Follow with circular motions around the kneecap, followed by a gentle massage of the base of the kneecap.
Finish by stretching the muscles that support the knees: quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes and hip abductor muscles.
