Pain in knees
Hello I have been having pain in both my knee caps for a while. At first I thought it was due to over strain as the pains started after I played for like 5 hours straight but even after a week of rest the pain has not gone

⢠Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment in which knee is applied warm water followed by the immediate application of the knee with ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.
