(Health-NewsWire.Net, October 01, 2015 ) Exeter, Devon -- Up-4-It.fit, suppliers of health and fitness equipment, is keen to educate its customers on preventing knee injuries, and what to do in the event of knee pain.
Nigel Manning, Marketing Director, said "Knee problems are very common, and occur in people of all ages as a result of either injury or disease. In the first instance, knee pain should be treated by a medical doctor. However, our website contains educational content about looking after your knees, and when knee injury does occur, people will be able to understand what's happening around the knee area, and will hopefully take the necessary measures to help heal the knee."
The knee is one of the largest and most complex joints in the body, which makes it extremely vulnerable to injury. It is the intersection for three bones: the femur or thigh bone, the tibia or shin bone, and the patella which is better known as the knee cap. The knee cap rests in a groove called the trochlea, where it can slide backwards and forwards. Four other tendons are also involved and attach the thigh bone to either the shin bone or the tibia and these additional tendons act to keep the leg aligned. Knee pain can be caused by a wide variety of issues ranging from sprains and overuse injuries, swollen or torn ACL/PCL, meniscus or cartilage tears and jumper's knee.
Nigel Manning added, "Depending on the nature of the knee injury, a knee brace may provide the right level of support and comfort, such as our neoprene open patella knee brace. But there are so many things that people can do for themselves at home to help heal or ease a knee injury such as low impact exercises to strengthen the muscles around the knee, taking regular exercise, keeping weight to a sensible level, and of course RICE treatment."
