About Knee Pain

Knee pain is one of the most common complaints among adults, and most often associated with general wear and tear from repetitive activities or sports.

Knee pain may be the result of an acute injury, overuse injury, or chronic condition like arthritis. A number of risk factors can increase your risk of having knee problems, including lack of muscle flexibility or strength, excessive weight, participation in repetitive movements (e.g running, jumping) causing repetitive stress, and previous knee injuries. 

Red light therapy can be a very effective treatment for many knee issues by helping reduce inflammation, modulate pain signal transmission, and stimulate tissue repair and regeneration. 

Primary Treatment 

In most cases the modules should be positioned over the site of pain. 

For the knee we are attempting to treat the synovial cavity. This is most accessible when your knee is bent at a 90-degree angle.

1. With the knee bent at 90 degrees, place 2 vertical modules along the knee line, on the soft pads either side of the knee cap.

2. Place one horizontal module on the back of the knee when bent at 90 degrees.

3. Close the buckle and adjust the front strap for a perfect fit.

You're now ready to start your treatment. 

Treatment Time

Treat the local areas indicated for 10-15 minutes daily

When you press the power button all 3 modules should power on. If they are not synced please place them in the charging dock and remove at the same time and they will re-sync.

Secondary Treatment 

Inflammation associated with joint arthritis can cause restricted blood flow in the local microcirculation.

Light therapy can help increase localised blood flow to this damaged tissue.

1. Place 2 vertical modules on the front of the quad as shown below

2. Place one horizontal module on the back of the hamstring as shown below

Treatment Time

Where time allows, treat the areas indicated for 10 minutes daily to help improve blood flow in surrounding tissues.

Treatment Expectations

On average, our customers see an 89% decrease in pain within 2-3 weeks. Some people have noticeable relief of pain, even after just one session!

One big impact on results is how much blood and tissue is around the area of pain and inflammation.

You can expect faster results on larger areas, like hips, knees and back. Smaller areas like hands and ankles, may require 3-4 weeks for noticeable pain reduction.

Treatment Benefits

Inflammation

Inflammation is a common cause of pain. Light therapy is a proven treatment to help significantly reduce inflammation.

Pain Transmission

Reduces pain signal transmission in the nervous system through neurotransmitter modulation.

Tissue Health

Stimulates tissue repair and regeneration through an increase in cellular function and reduction in oxidative stress

Blood Flow

Improvements in blood flow will contribute to reduced inflammation, healthy tissues and faster healing.

Training with Treatment

Strengthening exercises can be extremely beneficial to add in alongside your therapy, to help address any underlying movement compensations, weakness, or instability.

1. Glute Bridge - This helps strengthen the rear chain and support more stable knee movement 
   • Start with double leg - Watch video HERE
   • Progress to single leg when you feel comfortable with it - Watch HERE
2. Poliquin Step Up - Watch video HERE
   • Start with no extra weight and a simple 3" heel elevation
3. Tibia Raises - Watch Video HERE
4. Knee Over Toe Lunge - Watch video HERE
   • Start Stepping onto a raised platform as high as you need to, to avoid discomfort
