Some Days the knee just complains. When you're in a flare, reduce intensity and choose Low heat for brief, comforting sessions-five to ten minutes-paired with gentle range-of-motion work and elevation. Avoid deep knee bends or long holds. If swelling is present, use cooling strategies first, then return to heat once stiffness becomes the primary issue. Keep walking short and frequent rather than long and exhausting. This compassionate approach keeps you moving without poking the bear and helps the flare settle sooner. Consistency is key use your wrap in short sessions, listen to your body, and give yourself time to recover well.
