Knee friendly FT

[Scott Stevenson]

Yeah mine is from an old Judo injury, like 20 years ago, comes and go over the years, but the past 3-4 months it´s been constant, so have to do something now.

Thanks I will see if I can get one when I get back onshore.

I got no pain when sitting or anything.

Roger the previous message and the one before.

OK, so avoiding things that cause pain will be a first step.

If this is from an injury, I'd get it evaluated if at all possible by someone who has orthopedic expertise, so a physiotherapist or physical therapist (whatever the term may be there) or an orthopedic surgeon.

Do you ever get any popping that you either hear, feel or see in that knee / under that knee cap.

I personally (if I were you) would start doing foam rolling and stretching that quad quite a bit. Some of this could be from patellar tracking, as dens' solution is suggesting.

As far as training, driving with your heels on leg presses with feet wider and higher on the food plate, and using wider stances in general may help.

I would also apply kwan loong oil to the knee cap and painful areas and leave a small piece of tissue soaked in it under the neoprene sleeve before and then after training for about 30 min. You can do this once on off-days, too, so you're treating it 4-5 times / week. I'd use this to try to bring the inflammation under control along with the above strategies for 2-3 weeks, and then ease back on the KW oil over the next week or two.

Make sure to avoid exercises that cause pain and simply switch to something else on that day, even if it's not in the plan.
