Let's stop knee pain spoiling your enjoyment
Ah, the Great British getaway.
Time to put the worries back home out of our minds and immerse yourself in another culture, reconnect with nature and experience knee pain from all that standing ... er, wait a minute!
It doesn't have to be that way.
There are a number reasons why travelling causes your knee to hurt more than normal, including:
Changes in air pressure caused by flying, long transfers to and from the airport, standing around in line through security checkpoints etc... Not to mention your zest for experiencing the most that your destination has to offer.
When you just want to see and do it all, it can be frustrating to be slowed down by knee pain. Skipping on fun activities and watching from the sidelines wasn't exactly what you expected when you booked your flight.
