"Will These Knee Bands Relieve My Knee Pain?"
How Thermoflow helps:
The fibers in the Thermoflow Fabric are impregnated with a special patented
formula of Bio-Ceramics that emit safe far-infrared rays. The rays penetrate
deep into the knee joint and surrounding tissues and increase the blood flow to
the affected area.
Basically the tiny capillaries are dilated and the energy created by the far
infrared activates the cells by microscopic stimulation.
The increase in blood flow flushes away the toxins and lactic acids built up
from physical activities. Freshly oxygenated nutritious blood is brought to the
cells and the healing begins. As tissues and nerve endings are rejuvenated the
pain dissipates and you feel a welcoming warming sensation.

Then you may be suffering from Arthritis (Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid
Arthritis), sprained or torn ligaments, or pulled tendons.
Basic Anatomy:
The knee joint is held together by a number of different ligaments and tendons.
The ligaments attach bone to bone & tendons attach muscle to bone. Between the
bones are layers of cartilage allowing the bone ends to glide smoothly against
each other. Anyone of these parts can become damaged and cause you pain.
Ligaments:
Sprained Ligaments:
Ligaments are somewhat like a strong elastic band. Under normal conditions they
will stretch and then contract back to their original shape. When a Ligament is
over stretched - like and elastic band - it may never go back to its original
shape.
Torn Ligaments:
In more sever cases the ligament ends may be torn away from the bones causing
sever pain and will result in joint instability. Torn ligaments are slow to heal
due to the minimal blood flow.
Tendons:
Strained Tendons:
Tendons are an extension of the muscles and are more pliable than the ligaments.
Pulling a tendon is easy to do - especially if you fail to warm up your muscles
before intense exercising. If the muscles are cold or fatigued then they will
not be able to function at optimum capacity. If this happens the tendons are
called upon to do more of the work load and can easily be over stress.
Small stresses and tendon fiber tears are not always noticeable and in most
cases do not cause much pain if they are rested and have a chance to heal. If
over exertions continue and more tendon fibers are torn you will start to
experience, swelling and inflammation.
Ruptured Tendons:
If too many fibers are torn the Tendon will "Tear" and like the ligaments will
not retract back to their original shape.
Common cause of ligament and tendon injures:
Any injury affecting the knee joint can cause considerable pain, time off work
and possibly even permanent disability. Knee injuries are common in all sports
that require twisting movements and/or sudden changes of direction, like in
racket ball, tennis, soccer, football, rugby, basketball, netball and alpine or
water skiing.
Osteoarthritis of the Knee Joint:
Osteoarthritis is a progressive, degenerative disease in which the cartilage of
the knee slowly wears away. Knee cartilage can be compared to the rubber tread
of an automobile tire, very durable but susceptible to wear over time. When the
cartilage of the knee joint wears or erodes away the resulting pain and
inflammation can be extremely painful debilitating.
What are your chances of getting osteoarthritis of the knee?
The condition can affect middle-aged (30-40) and most often older people (aged
60-80).

Rheumatoid Arthritis in Knees.
Rheumatoid knee arthritis is inflammation of the lining of the joints called
synovium. (Synovium contains the lubricant called synovial fluid.)
Though less common than osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis is among the most
debilitating of the over one hundred forms of arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis
disease affects 1 in 100 people. Three times as many women are affected as men.
People of all ages may have the condition, but it most commonly starts between
the ages of 30 and 50.
Causes
The exact cause of rheumatoid arthritis is unknown.
Some believe the body's immune system gets triggered into action when there is
no threat, and start attacking the tissue lining the knee joints.
It is possible that a virus or bacteria may trigger the disease in people with a
genetic predisposition to rheumatoid arthritis.
May be caused by severe stress like a life-changing event such as a death in the
family, divorce, loss of a job or a severe injury.
Symptoms
fluctuating pain
redness
pain and swelling in the joints and difficulty moving.
rheumatoid nodules (lumps of tissue under the skin).
Other symptoms may include loss of appetite, fever, loss of energy and anemia.

Arrived in time for Christmas. Thank you for your excellent service. My son's
mother in law used the knee brace that I gave her for Christmas and turned

her husband who works in a fish processing plant.
Thanks for correcting my order from the tube to the tapered, it is much
appreciated! Have a happy new year! Jeannie C.
