There are few things worse than pain keeping you awake. With knee pain, this can be common, and with kneecap pain, you may experience pain when sitting and lying - all the moments that you are trying to rest!
Many of these causes can be improved and even resolved with light exercise of a low impact nature. It is important not to overload the joint, this includes deep squatting where your knees come over your toes as you lower down.
Avoid Kneeling - It overloads the knee and puts excessive strain on the top of the knee.
Reduced swelling by elevating your legs on a stool (place a cushion under the knees to reduce strain).
If your knee feels warm to touch or is throbbing you may find icing is beneficial at reducing symptoms.
Speak to your pharmacist or GP about taking medications that may reduce pain and inflammation.
Ensure that you can still fully bend and straighten your leg - even if this is sore, it’s important to maintain full movement to keep the joints as healthy as possible if though it’s painful.
Swimming can be very beneficial for lower leg pain. As a low impact exercise, it will help condition surrounding muscles without impacting the kneecap.
Whether you've had a fall, injury or your knee has become painful over time, this support can restore stability and protect from twisting and straining.

A lot of us do not have the capabilities that we did when we were younger. Whether it be due to injuries, ageing or a particular condition, our joints change over time. The same can be applied to our ankles. As we use them every single day, our ankles can get worn out over time.
There are many ways to overcome this, some tend to go for treatment whilst others use different methods. One way to recover is from using an Ankle Support, which is a great way to recover from injuries, provide support and to improve stamina and stability.
Running is an excellent hobby, with it keeping you in great shape whilst also being fun and enjoyable. It has been a staple exercise since humans first came into existence. Many people have created great careers from running, and it has created many opportunities for us all as it is easy and convenient.
However, it is common to come into complications with running. Injuries happen more often than you’d think, and some people who are injured want to continue running. As it becomes such an important part of our day, we seem to miss the endorphin rush that running brings us.
