Knee Soreness

Though knee soreness may cause mild discomfort as compared to other types of knee conditions and injuries, it is not something to be taken lightly. Experiencing soreness in the knees is your body’s way of telling you that something is wrong. The soreness may be related to an underlying minor injury, but can develop into something much worse if left untreated. If you are experiencing sore knees, it’s important that you consult with a doctor to receive a proper diagnosis and the best treatment options possible.

There are a number of reasons why knee soreness might develop. Athletes are generally very familiar with sore knees. Frequent, vigorous exercise routines and training can place plenty of stress on the area, potentially leading to a larger injury. Because of this, athletes also know how dangerous a sore knee can be if left untreated. Additionally, many athletes also experience knee instability along with soreness.

How To Wrap a Knee

Wrapping your knee may also be a beneficial measure to combat knee soreness pain. Knee wraps can prevent inflammation and are effective in dealing with pain due to sprains, swelling, hamstring injuries, and other knee-related conditions. If you choose to wrap your knee, it is important that you do it correctly. Otherwise, there is really no point in it being there, as it won’t support your knee the way it is meant to. We’ll provide you with some tips for how to wrap a knee properly.

To begin, place your leg in a natural position. You want your leg to be straight but not locked; allow for a slight bend in the knee. Firmly hold one end of the bandage against the kneecap and wrap it around the leg, covering both above and below the kneecap. Doing this as opposed to only wrapping the kneecap will allow for the maximum amount of external support to the connective tissue, ligaments, and muscles in addition to the actual joint.

Ensure that you are not wrapping the bandage too tightly around the knee so as not to obstruct blood circulation. You’ll want to make sure you are comfortable with the amount of pressure created by the wrap. Once you have the wrap comfortably in place, secure the bandage with a small hook or Velcro strip. If you feel the bandage loosen throughout the day, be sure to rewrap it so that you receive the maximum benefit from it.
