What about joint pain in the knees, ankles or shoulders?
โFor this type of pain, depending on the cause, an anti-inflammatory gel may be a useful option. Knees or ankles, for example, are more โsuperficialโ joints, so the gel doesnโt have to try and pe*****te multiple layers. As with back pain, though, ask yourself why the pain is occurring. Are you getting it after a run or HIIT session? Or perhaps itโs when youโre sitting down all day versus when you wake up in the morning.
โThe quicker you see an expert, the quicker we can help โ which might include looking at your fitness or training programme and helping you tweak it. A physio will also be able to give you specific exercises to build your strength to prevent further injuries.โ
