In this video, I will talk about the different symptoms for each cause of Sciatic Nerve Pain, and show a stretch and exercise to help for each one.
Patellofemoral pain is pain under and around the kneecap. Sometimes when your kneecap does not track properly in the groove, it can rub on either side of the bone. If this occurs for a long period of time, it can cause irritation, inflammation, and pain.
Knee pain can be caused by many things. Often a tight quadricep muscle can cause knee pain. My favorite stretch for this area is a quad stretch. It’s great for the knee, hip, and thigh area.
Bowed legs (aka bowlegs, bow legs, or genu varum) can come from weak & tight muscles, bone deformations, and/or degeneration. These stretches & exercises are designed to help if it’s coming from weak and/or tight hip muscles.
The ACL helps keep the knee stable, and prevents it from sliding forward. When you have a torn ACL, your knee can become painful and unstable. These stretches and exercises are for a non-operative or pre-operative injury.
Varicose veins are caused by weak or damaged walls in the veins and valves. This is a common condition, but they can be painful. These stretches and exercises may help reduce them.
Improving circulation and blood flow in your legs is important for everyone, but it’s especially important for seniors who might not move as much and for people who sit all day. The simple exercises in this video should help.
Using a massage gun for knee pain relief is a popular way of relieving knee muscle soreness and tightness. So if you're struggling with knee pain, tight muscles, or soreness in your knees, a massage gun, may be just what your knees need!
Sore legs are common when starting a new workout program or when exercising a little too hard, especially on leg day. These stretches can help relax sore and tight leg muscles & provide pain relief.
With Shin Splints, pain can be felt on the front (anterior shin splints) or on the inside/medial ankle (posterior shin splints). Using a massage gun on the painful area, as well as stretches & exercises, can help with pain relief.
