Well...my knees have been a problem for over 20 years now. After I finally stopped running in 2010 and committed to healing, I was mostly pain-free despite severe osteoarthritis for years.
Unfortunately, I had a bad sprain January 2023 and since lifting again, my knees have been VERY cranky (quite an understatement.)
So why am I telling you this? I've been testing two things that have been helping me reduce pain and recover. Although ibuprofen is still effective for me, I'd rather keep that to a minimum. I don't like masking symptoms; I want to know on a day-to-day basis whether my knees are getting better or worse and what things aggravate them. Although sometimes necessary, drugs dull valuable feedback from your body.
The first technology I've been using is the Kineon Move+ Pro. It's targeted red light therapy, there is some great science behind it and you can use it on any body part. Read more about it here.
The second thing I've been using is the new Copper Compression heat and vibration sleeve...which is exactly what it sounds like. You can use it for knees or elbows. Read more about it here.
Both of these offer pain relief but more importantly, promote true healing rather than masking symptoms. As with any new treatment, it's difficult to tell if time is healing, the treatment is helping or whether you'd be way worse off without it. What I love about these therapies is there are zero side effects or harm and huge potential for upside and healing.
