The best solution for people who have arthritis, cartilage injuries, and chronic inflammation. Ideal for athletes affected by arthritis, cartilage injuries and chronic inflammation. This can happen when you do regular running or jogging and even for cycling as a low-impact sport, you could suffer from knee aches if there is poor foot alignment in your setup.
Just like everything else, the bicycle has to fit the rider’s anatomy. If we ride without adjusting the bicycle to our needs, it could result in knee pain, which is a common issue with riders.
The 4 most common causes of knee pains are due to improper saddle height or position, having a crank that is too long for the rider, rider pushing excessively high gears, or poor foot alignment. We give 2 suggestions on cycling posture for the feet :
If the pain is in the front of the knee (Anterior Pain):
Pushing too high gears -> Lower gear, and increase cadence
Saddle too low or far forward -> Raise seat or move seat back
Foot too far forward on the pedal -> Move foot back to have toes in line with the pedal
Crank arms too long -> Shorten crank arms by 2.5 cm
If the pain is in the back of the knee (Posterior Pain):
Saddle too high or far back -> Lower seat, or move seat forward
Too much pedal float -> Limit float to 6 – 8 degrees
But for the many of us who have been avid badminton or squash players, that knee ache could be due to wear and tear of the cartilage in the knee area. If all else fails, you might just need supplements to aid you.
Consider Jointplex Pro.
