Most people walk, run, and move around with no knee pain because the cartilage in their knees acts as the cushion for the joint.

Thank goodness for that cartilage too, because without it, even bending the knee would be extremely painful.

What begins to happen with Arthritis, Osteoarthritis or Degenerative Joints is this: the cartilage begins to slowly wear away until the knee is left without any protective barrier between the bones.

Arthritis is certainly not a rare condition. The CDC reported “nearly 1 in 2 people may develop symptomatic knee [Osteoarthritis] by age 85.” A lot of the time, if nothing is done to stop the arthritis from worsening, you will be left with a bone on bone condition and your doctor will recommend knee replacement surgery.

There is, however, something you can do to stop the deterioration in your knee long before you reach that point.

Across the board, doctors will diagnose the early stages of this condition as “dehydrated knee” or “degenerative joint pain”.

Dehydrated knee occurs over time. And the pain becomes more and more chronic as the condition worsens. The pain is created by the tension your body creates to protect itself from pain. It’s ironic to be sure.

The tension pattern squeezes on the nerve endings in your knee and literally squeezes the fluid out of the joint. This fluid is what lubricates the joint and without it, the joint begins to wear.

This situation marks the beginning of an uphill battle. Water will lubricate the knee, if you drink enough of it. However, in the case of arthritis, once the joint tightens up, the water you drink won’t be able to get back into the knee to lubricate it again.

If you are able to let the nerves release the tension they are holding, the joint will slowly adjust and eventually start allowing the water you drink to get back into the joint.

To get this treatment process working for you, the first step is relaxing the tension pattern and putting your knee in what I call the “Comfort Zone”.

This arthritis treatment allows your knee to be comfortable using a daily practice of Passive Stretching that is demonstrated in my e-book and online video program, The Comfort Zone.

When you allow the nerves to calm down and stop sending messages to your brain that you are in pain… the nerves relax, the joint opens up and fluid can actually creep back into the knee joint. The cartilage begins to rehydrate and your chronic knee pain is over.
