Knee pain can be caused by any number of issues. The kneecap, or patella, could be moving incorrectly. One or more meniscus may be torn, ruptured, or inflamed. There may be arthritis, plica, chrondomalacia, or any number of issues with the bones that constitute the knee. The beauty of this application is the breadth of conditions it covers with it's relatively simple effects of balancing the muscles effect on the knee and relieving pressure on the kneecap and its tendon.
Knee issues arise from equally as many causes. Muscle imbalances, poor running form, misaligned hips or poor posture, poor nutrition, overtraining, compensation for another injury, hyperextension, arthritis, and blunt trauma to ligaments are just a few of the most common causes of knee pain. Common effective treatments among all of these conditions include increasing circulation, providing support, reducing pressure, and maintaining range of motion.
KT Tape serves all of these purposes without the downsides of bracing or wrapping. Common injuries such as runner's knee or patella tendonitis, jumper's knee, patella tracking, arthritis, meniscus tears, plica, patellofemoral pain, and general instability can all be best addressed by using the fell knee support application.
With this application you will get support, pain relief, and normal body mechanics without restricting motion or circulation like other treatments.
