Weakness, instability or excess forces from exercise and other activity \u2013 and sometimes specific conditions or diseases \u2013 they all can be a cause of knee pain.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Most commonly, however, knee pain comes from everyday exertions that put stress and strain on your knees.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Did you know your knees are subject to a lot of force? For example, if you weigh 100 pounds, going up and down stairs feels like carrying 300-500 pounds to your knees. This can stress the tendons and ligaments that support your knees and kneecaps.<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;top&#8221;][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Shop Products for Knee Pain&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|text_align:center&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; el_class=&#8221;text-uppercase&#8221;][vc_raw_html]JTVCcHJvZHVjdHNfc2xpZGVyJTIwY2F0cyUzRCUyMjE4MCUyMiUyMGF1dG9wbGF5JTNEJTIyZmFsc2UlMjIlMjBvcmRlcmJ5JTNEJTIybWVudV9vcmRlciUyMiU1RA==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_class=&#8221;mt-5&#8243; el_id=&#8221;what-can-i-do&#8221;][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;5\/6&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;DON\u2019T LET KNEE PAIN SLOW YOU DOWN&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|text_align:center&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; el_class=&#8221;text-uppercase&#8221;][vc_column_text]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Unless you have a more serious, chronic condition, there are some simple tips that can help you get the knee pain relief you need.
