Knee Therapy Card
Used to assist with the relief of knee and lower leg pain.

The knee functions mostly like the hinge of the door. It flexes and extends as you walk, sit and stand. The knee turns or rotates too. This aspect of motion can put the knee in a precarious position at times as may be seen with sports persons who rapidly change directions during play while their foot is firmly planted in position. Knee pain can also occur due to changes in the level of physical activity or the adoption of new and strenuous exercise.
