Why do you need the Knee Hero?
Our modern life requires us to move less and less. Whether it’s sitting at a desk, on the couch, while driving or taking public transportation, there’s not much variation to our movement patterns. As a direct result, our muscles and fasciae are losing flexibility — and we become stiff and immobile. Particularly our leg muscles are affected by this lack of movement and variety. They begin to “shorten” and tense up, tugging at the Achilles tendon. This results in micro-tears as well as hurting shins. In the worst case, the bone skin can detach. Simultaneously, muscle overload puts too much stress on ankles and knee joints, which leads to arthritis and meniscus damage.
Here's where our Knee Hero comes in: you can actively reduce tension within your muscles and lessen the pull on the Achilles tendon. After a couple of days, you'll see you'll be able to move more naturally and pain-free again, provided you exercise daily. The best thing about it: you don't need to spend any extra time on it. Use the Knee Hero while brushing your teeth, for example. Already 2 minutes in the morning and 2 minutes in the evening suffice to stretch your calves efficiently.
How do you use it?
Thanks to our long-standing experience in pain management, we developed a tool perfect for people who suffer from aches and ailments of all kinds. The result is three stackable wedges of different height angles suitable for daily training sessions:
- two smaller wedges, each with an angle of 9°
- one bigger wedge with an angle of 18°
These three wedges open up a multitude of combinations. This way, you can exercise according to your and your muscles' needs. For example, stretch both of your legs at the same angle by using the two smaller wedges or vary the angle for one leg. Alternatively, you may focus on only one leg and stack all of the wedges for a combined angle of 36°. The choice is yours! Try different variations to find the best angle for you.
In the beginning, we recommend you use both of the smaller wedges first. Should you feel a sharp tugging in your calves while both of your feet are placed on the 9° wedges, your muscles are shortened — which means that using the little wedges is just right for you.
Should your muscles be less stiff, you may use the 18° wedge for one foot instead. For the other foot, stack the two small wedges on top of each other.
If your calves' muscles are particularly inflexible, try different wedge combinations: use the 9° wedge for the worse leg and the 18° one for the other.
For the most intensive stretching experience, stack all of the wedges on top of each other to create a 36° angle.
