Knee pain can be extremely debilitating. It can present seemingly out of nowhere and cut your training cycle short. It even alters simple tasks like walking up and down stairs or driving. So what happened?

Your knee stopped moving the way it should and actually began damaging the surrounding soft-tissue. When the knee gets overused it becomes weak and starts causing the knee joint to slam into itself. Here is a self test to do at home.

This causes pain, weakness, and early onset degeneration. Below are 3 major contributors that cause the knee to stop moving properly.

Adhesion

“Super glue” that sticks muscles together around the knee, thigh, and lower leg resulting in weakness, decreased flexibility, and bad joint motion.

Nerve Entrapment

Sciatic nerve becomes stuck (adhesion) to muscles in the hip and hamstring which results in pain behind the knee and increased pressure on the knee joint.

Sciatic Nerve Entrapment due to Adhesion Sticking the Muscles to the Nerve.

Degeneration

Is decreased joint space and cartilage wearing because of problems listed above.

Limited flexibility and strength due to adhesion will speed up degeneration.
