Knee Pain

Knee Pain

The knee is one of the most injured joints in the body. Knee pain comes in a variety of flavors, many of which have clinical names, and some of which do not. But whenever an area of the body is constantly challenged, stress occurs. It can be instantaneous, such as a hyperextension, or it can be chronic - the accumulated result of the relentless use required by endurance athletics. In either event, the principle to recovery is the same – relieve the stress. Properly using methods to relieve stress, such as rest or the use of Chi Formulas and Therapies, can go a long way in overall joint health and longevity.

Prevention

Promoting both Chi and blood circulation in and through the knee is imperative to relieving stress and the accumulated effects of stress. This circulation is one of the main mechanisms for restoring balance, in turn preventing poor condition and promoting optimal ability.

For keeping the knees in balance, Chi Herbal recommends using Foot & Leg Energizer on the knees and legs on a daily basis. At a cost of a few minutes and a dollar or two per day, you can relieve soreness and fatigue, and promote overall lower body energy.For an even greater effect, use Foot Energy Spray in conjunction with some of the recommended Chi Therapies.

Another prevention tool is The Recoveryl Wrap. Wearing an wrap on each knee about every six months helps keep your joints in good condition, much the same as a good teeth cleaning every six months helps with your dental longevity.

Recovery

For mild recovery, you can use Foot & Leg Energizer. If it is more than mild, Chi Herbal recommends The Recovery Wrap. Depending upon severity, one wrap may be sufficient, or you may want to do a series of wraps. The Recovery Wrap is worn for 12-24 hours and then discarded. If you are doing a series of wraps, wait at least 24 hours in between applications to give the skin time to breath.

Wear the Recovery Wrap for 12-24 hours for pain relief.

I have been a physical therapist for 46 years and have what is called a “worn” knee. I have for several years lived with stiffness, swelling, crunching and chronic pain in the knee, but continued all my activities with minor limitations. The knee is “worn” as a result of being very active with sports and outdoor activities including biking and running.

On the recommendation of a friend, I applied The Recovery Wrap to my knee and I wore it for 24 hours. The pain and stiffness I experienced on a daily basis was gone immediately after taking the wrap off. The effect of the wrap has lasted over a week. I imagine that with strenuous movements and stress to the knee, symptoms may recur, but the Athletic Wrap will likely offer relief again.

The following Chi Therapies are best done as prevention techniques. If you have already sustained an injury, we recommend wearing The Recovery Wrap for 12-24 hours, then doing these movements daily to promote a healthy condition. Prior to doing any physical movements or therapies, we recommend consulting your doctor.
