This is magic for fixing knee pain

[crackyflipside]

All you need is $6 bicycle inner tubes. Feels so good. Also works for elbow but haven't tried it.

I use this stuff and it works great. Can wear it around all day and forget you have it on too.

To do this with bicycle inner tubes, do you just cut them to make a strip then slice all along it so it's no longer a tube?

This shipping on the real Floss Bands make the cost kind of unreasonable.

edit, found this:

For those who have tried this, does it cut your blood off?

Yes but that is one of the reasons why it works, increased bloodflow to the area after relieving the compression.

fark, i was gonna make a thread about my knee today. i think i have the problem that they are trying to fix

the ligament under my knees ****ing hurt. I still can squat, just have a little pain down there. Started about 2 weeks ago after a basketball game where I was jumping a lot. Not after one particular moment, just after the game i was limping a little bit but it's gotten better, to the point where it just hurts when I squat.

I made a set from bicycle inner tubes today. My problem is on the other side of the knee (quad tendonitis), but I'm going to give this a try and see how things go.

I bought two $6 bicycle inner tubes and cut off the stem with scissors so its just a long rubber tube:



When I would usually have stiff knees after a workout, foam roll and it would kind of go away but come back in the morning... with this I do it right at the end of the work out, put two tight as hell (above/below kneecap) do 10 bodyweight squats, put them on other leg and repeat. No stiff knee pain after workout, and even if I don't foam roll my knees are still great in the morning. Fawking magic.

Can I use a PL band, like a thinner one? My coach has all sizes down to pretty thin some have ripped so are just a long rubber band lol

I started Oly Lifting not that long ago and my knees are constantly sore, is that normal?

Will give the stuff in the video a shot to see if it helps ontop of physio.

haven't read the whole thread, maybe someone pointed this out already. But what he is describing is patella tendonitis. 2 different things patella tendonitis and patella femoral syndrome. 1 is a tendon shortening issue to repeated forces in knee positions with high sheering forces (classic: power clean catching position) vs PF syndrome which is pain in the medial side of your patella resuling from imbalance of the lateral quad head and medial head causing the patella to go out of its groove causing irritation.


for the brahs that do have patella tendonitis

Use this stretch:



Personally i think the MWOD guy goes a little too far with the whole myofascial release thing just like crossfit does to EVERYTHING -everything has got to be with a foam roller/some kind of band

No worries bud, all of our knees are still sore, even after training for 1+ years.

Make sure you stretch after every training session, it helps a ton. And that wrapping method seen in the videos works wonders (been walking around my house with my knee wrapped up like that and no knee pains)

The CrossFit hype got to this one early... Rogue Fitness has already sold out of these Voodoo Bands.

They could **** in a can, slap a CrossFit logo on it and call it paleo and hundreds of people would be consuming the stuff by the pound.

Yeah, I love those stretches there at 2:15 but I do it with my knee ON TOP of the box and use a band to pull the back ankle towards my butt. Gets a monster stretch on that quad directly above kneecap and relieves a lot of pain from tightness. I've noticed that doing the voodoo band too often will aggravate the knee joint so I would do it twice a week or after the heaviest squat days, and then I would just alternate different stretching and foam rolling on the days in between.

This is also pretty interesting, wrapping a small ball under the voodoo band for ridiculous pressure:

My friend brought a pair. They are much easier to use than the bicycle inner tubes as the rubber is thinner and more elastic as a result. Still tough for me to justify paying that much. I'll see in a while if they have a sale before buying them.
