Knee Pain Treatment at Home
In this video, I’m going to explain how to treat knee pain at home, with a focus on the most common cause of knee pain, which is patello-femoral joint pain (PFJ pain).
Successful treatment of knee pain can be broken down into 3 phases.
In phase 1, you want to focus on reducing your knee pain. This can include several treatment options, including the following:
– Massage techniques to the knee and IT Band
