The Care and Keeping of Knees

Image Found Here
Many of our customers use Sore No More on their knees to combat arthritis pain or pain from general wear and tear.  We wanted to give our fans a few tips on keeping their knees in tip top shape.   

  • Warm up before you exercise.  Stretching is important to ensure that you don’t injure your knees.
  • Taking supplements such as Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and MSM may promote joint health (consult your physician.)
  • Consider your weight.  The loss of even a few pounds for those that are overweight can lessen the load on joints and have a profound impact on pain and joint longevity.
  • See the doctor if you have knee pain for more than a week. Many problems can be corrected if they’re caught early.
  • Exercise! Keeping your muscles limber and strengthening them does wonders for joint health.  Check out these websites for some knee exercises;
