Christopher has just completed his fiftieth birthday anniversary last month and life seemed to be settled after so many years of dedicated hard work as well as sacrifice of numerous small personal interests in the greater interest of the family and the overall well being.He is a senior manager in a pharmaceutical firm and still has around ten years of service period. Both of his teenager children have entered the universities of their choice to pursue the subjects they desired. His wife Linda who is a late bloomer in her art career is doing well for herself too. He has a loving family, a fulfilling job and a great lifestyle.Christopher wondered. However, very soon his life was shaken by an acute knee pain around his right kneecap.At first he ignored it for a few times, however, after the few times the pain grew to be very acute and he had to seek medical advice. The orthopedic consultant made a thorough checkup and Christopher was diagnosed with a condition called runners knee.


Though he heard the term for the first time he understood that his excessive biking and hectic ...
... life in the initial years of his career might have resulted in this. The doctor explained that runners knee may be caused due to a number of factors. It might be due an injury due to a blow or a fall. It can be caused by misalignment of any of the body bones which does not allow the body weight to be evenly distributed within the body. As a result some part of the body may have to bear excessive weight which leads to knee pain and damage of the joint. At times the knee cap itself is out of its actual position. Overpronation or fallen arches or the commonly termed flat feet is another potential source of knee pain. In this condition the difficulty of step may result in the collapse of the arches of the foot.


This stretches the muscles as well as the tendon causing excruciating pain in the knee.Weakness of the thigh muscles and overuse as bending irritates the nerves in the surrounding area to cause pain.Christopher is not a man to get disheartened and despair. He has faced several challenges in his personal and professional life which he overcame by his grit and the right kind of advice.He further found out that knee pain treatment involve continuous medication or even surgery in some cases. Continued medication especially the painkillers were not without its share of ill side effects though.Christopher also was not very comfortable in undergoing surgery at his current age. When he was weighing the options an acquaintance of his suggested Kneease to him.
