Knee pain

We can’t function without our knees – because they are the fundamentals supporting our bodies. However, knee pain is a common pain symptom in different age groups. It can occur suddenly or be long-term. Often there is a pulling or stinging sensation in the knee, possibly due to overuse or misuse. But sometimes falls, injuries or incorrect movements can be the trigger. No matter how knee pain manifests itself, it’s important to do something good for your knee.

Information

General information

The knee is one of the most complex joints in the human body and is fundamental to our mobility. It connects the thigh bone (femur) with the shin bone (tibia) and the kneecap (patella). The knee joint enables movements such as bending, extending and rotating the lower leg and is therefore crucial for walking, running and racing.

Causes

Almost everyone is familiar with knee pain. A variety of causes can contribute to it. Here are some common reasons for knee pain:

Injuries: Traumatic injuries such as sprains, strains, torn ligaments or meniscus tears can cause severe knee pain.
Osteoarthritis: Degenerative joint disease osteoarthritis can cause cartilage breakdown in the knee over time. This can cause chronic knee pain in the long term.
Overuse: Excessive stress from intense sports or constant standing, can bring on fatigue and pain in the knee.
Inflammation in the knee: Inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis can trigger discomfort in the knee joint.
Meniscus damage: The meniscus is a cartilaginous structure in the knee between the femur and the tibia. Injury to the meniscus and a meniscus tear can cause pain.
Misalignment of the knee: Misalignments of the legs or pelvis, either congenital or acquired over time, can increase the load on the knee and cause pain.

How does K-Active® Tape help against knee pain?

The tape application on the knee with the K-Active® Tape is a useful support for knee pain. It stabilizes the knee joint by applying light pressure and partially limiting mobility, which can reduce pain. By promoting blood flow to the affected area, it can contribute to faster healing. In addition, the tape supports the surrounding muscles, giving the knee joint the stability it needs.
