Should I massage my swollen knee?

My knee is swollen. What could be the cause? Should I massage my swollen knee?

1 Answer

There are several causes to a swollen knee: injury, fluid build-up, post-surgical edema. Massaging a swollen knee is not recommended. Icing a swollen knee is best. Attaining proper ROM exercises from a PT or Chiropractor would be the next step, once the swelling begins to subside.
