Massage for knee pain
The quadriceps, hamstrings, calves and hips that control the knee, treated together.

Massage for knee pain
The kneecap glides in a groove at the end of the thigh bone, pulled by the quadriceps above it. When the quadriceps tighten it presses harder into the groove. Tight hamstrings and calves stop the knee straightening fully, and tight hips change the angle it bends at.

Four lines cross the knee
The front line through the quadriceps, the back line through the hamstrings and calf, the lateral line along the outer thigh and the deep line on the inside all cross the knee. That is why the knee is rarely treated on its own.

Between sessions
Stand up regularly rather than sitting with the knees sharply bent. Straight leg raises and bridges strengthen the muscles that support the knee.
Reviews
Massage for knee pain reviews
I have suffered with constant overuse injuries for two years before I hired James. Since I started working with James, and getting regular treatment from him, I have stayed injury free for over 3 years.
It opened my body up loads to where I could train harder for longer, and recover faster. I've sent people to James with fibromyalgia, back pain, sciatica and everyone has been helped.

Going down asks the quadriceps to control the knee as it bends under load.
Do you treat arthritic knees?
Gentle work around the knee can sit alongside your GP's care.
