Knee pain can be due to many different causes.
If in your case, you suffer from osteoarthritis, we show you why Smou are effective insoles for knee pain.
Causes of knee pain
Knee pain is very common, especially after a certain age.
It can be due to very different causes: from injuries to arthritis problems . or arthrosis, or even mechanical problems, overweight, lack of strength or certain sports or professional activities.
The most frequent knee injuries that usually cause pain, even years after they have been overcome are:
- Fractures of the knee bones
- Knee bursitis
- Patellar tendinitis
- Meniscus tear
Arthritis, osteoarthritis, gout or rheumatoid arthritis are pathologies that are also associated with knee pain in day-to-day activities.
And as for sports, especially in impact sports such as running, soccer, basketball or tennis, the knee suffers quite a lot and therefore injuries in this area or inflammation are frequent, causing pain.
How to improve pain in the area
Not being overweight. Knees support all the weight of our body when walking or playing sports.
They suffer especially in impact sports.
It is essential that your weight is adequate so that your knees do not have to support excessive weight.
Strengthen your leg muscles. Strengthening the leg muscles, especially the quadriceps and hamstrings (which support the knees), will give more stability and support to the bones and tendons and prevent not only pain but also injury.
Practice an appropriate sport. Playing sports is very important for our health, but if we have injuries or suffer from knee pain, not all sports will be suitable for us.
The knee suffers especially with sports such as running, skiing or playing soccer.
You can do other sports, such as swimming or cycling, which will keep you fit and strengthen your leg muscles without hurting your knees.
Take care of your posture. In your daily life, when walking and playing sports.
Our whole body is connected.
Maintaining good posture from the spine to our feet, starting with the head and neck, is essential for the balance of all the bones, muscles and tendons in our body.
When something goes wrong, there is always another part of our body that ends up suffering.
Knee pain can sometimes be caused by other postural or mobility problems.
Insole for knee pain
As we mentioned, good postural health is essential to avoid pain, injuries and future problems.
In this postural health your feet are involved; and here it is very important that the weight distribution of your body when walking is correct.
The footprint has to be comfortable but firm.
Footwear is basic to achieve this, but sometimes it is not enough and we need the use of insoles to achieve this correct, firm and stable footprint.
A correct stride influences not only the health of our feet but also problems in the knees and even in the hips.
Everything is connected, if any of the parts of our body does not work well, it is likely that the rest will suffer.
Thanks to our customers, we have found that, although not specifically made for this purpose, Smou Inoles are an effective solution for knee pain caused by osteoarthritis.
How can Inoles for knee pain be effective?
With osteoarthritis, the knee suffers from micro-movements when walking or performing our daily activities.
Smou prevents micro-movements of the knee thus reducing inflammation in the area and therefore pain.
They have a patented design and are made of resin and latex, which provide support and comfort to the internal arch.
In addition, they have a reinforcement for the metatarsal area and a removable piece that, without being uncomfortable, is especially effective for plantar fasciitis and heel spur problems.
Their characteristics and manufacturing materials ensure that your foot has a correct distribution of your body weight, providing stability, support and comfort. Together with the right footwear, they will be the perfect combination for your knee to remain firm when walking and thus eliminate the pain caused by osteoarthritis.
Many of our customers use them for this purpose (you can read our reviews on Google), and it is for this reason that we would like to introduce you to the Smou as an effective knee pain Insole.
