Relieve Knee Pain with Joya

Causes, Symptoms, and Solutions

The knee joint is not only the largest in the human body, but also the most heavily loaded. With every step, it endures forces of up to 300 kilograms – and during activities like running or jumping, this can rise to nearly two tons.

Common Knee Problems

We move it up to 3,000 times a day on average – that makes about a million movements a year! An enormous strain that makes the knee very susceptible to wear and injuries. While younger people mostly struggle with injury-related pain, knee pain in older individuals is more often due to signs of wear.

The most common knee problems include:

Cruciate ligament tear
Meniscus damage
Knee osteoarthritis
Dislocation of the kneecap
Misalignments, such as knock-knees or bowlegs

Preventing Knee Pain

If you suffer from knee pain, taking it easy is essential. But that’s easier said than done. Hard surfaces like concrete and rigid footwear deliver constant, dull impact to the joints with every step – making rest and relief nearly impossible. That’s where Joya shoes come in. Their soft-elastic sole allows the foot to sink in naturally and absorb impact in a controlled way – supporting healthy movement and easing pressure on the knees.

Everyday Tips for Healthy Knees:

Movement Try to find a healthy balance between sitting and standing throughout your workday. Your knees will thank you.

Warm-Up Always warm up before exercising. It helps supply the cartilage with joint fluid and allows your knees to better absorb impact.

Choosing the Right Sport If you have knee osteoarthritis, avoid sports that put long-term stress on the cartilage – like running, football, or tennis. Gentler options include swimming, Nordic walking, and cycling.

Shoes If you’d love to move more but your knees are holding you back, shoes with soft-elastic soles from Joya can help. They absorb harsh impact on your knees and support a more natural, pain-free walking experience.

How Joya Shoes Work

Chronic misalignment and overloading of the knee joint can lead to wear, tear, and injury. Over time, this often causes structural changes in the muscles and fascia – resulting in persistent pain that’s hard to get rid of. Soft-elastic soles from Joya can offer relief. They cushion every step, reducing joint stress while activating the surrounding muscles.
