Knee pain is more than just a knee joint problem
OUR knee joint is formed between three bones: the thigh bone (femur), the shin bone (tibia) and the kneecap (patella). These knee bones require the strength of our muscles in the front of our thigh (quadriceps) and muscles at the back of the thigh (hamstrings) to support and reduce stress on our knee joint.
Weak or tight leg muscles common cause of knee pain
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons note that having strong and flexible
(1) muscles can keep knees healthy and prevent injury.
Common causes of weakening or tightening of muscles such as sitting or standing for long hours can pull the kneecap in an unnatural way, displacing it (2).
Hence, this creates an imbalanced pressure over the kneecap, exerting stress and restricting blood and oxygen flow to the knee. As a result, the knee cartilage that cushions the joints wears quickly, which can result in pain.
Owell’s 3-in-1 Knee Massage Therapy allows you to strengthen the leg muscles that support the knee, and increase its flexibility without stressing out the knee joints.
Technology
The 3-in-1 Knee Massage Therapy uses a combination of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Electric Muscle Stimulation (EMS).
This technology helps in three ways: 1) Sends gentle electrical pulses to our nerves to reduce the pain signals, relieving pain and relaxing muscles.
2) Stimulating the production of endorphins, a naturally released painkiller.
3) Stimulates the muscles to contract and relax, allowing you to engage in complete muscular contractions without stressing joints.
Features
1) Patented claw-shaped polyurethane (PU) foam protects the knee area against impact.
2) Adjustable velcro straps for all leg sizes. 3) Five different massage modes and five intensity levels for each mode.
4) Lightweight and portable. Suitable for travelling.
