Rest

Rest and protect the knee. Stop, change or take a break from any activity that is causing pain and soreness. A Baker's Cyst is usually a secondary inflammation due to a primary injury. Resting will allow for the body's natural healing process to begin. The more you are able to rest your knee, the quicker the recovery time will be.

Ice

Ice will help with inflammation by slowing down the amount of blood being supplied to your knee. With an injury, blood is sent to the knee to help deliver nutrients and oxygen to the injury, to help heal it. With inflammation present, this extra blood flow causes pain.

Compression

Along with ice, compression will help with reducing inflammation as well as helping to stabilize the injury. Compression will help keep the knee safe so it can't be injured any further.

Elevation

Have the knee elevated above the heart by placing pillows underneath it while you rest, and that will help inflammation from recurring. It is important to rest your knee as often as possible to give your body the best chance it has to heal.

Stimulate Blood Flow

Along with the RICE method, stimulating the blood flow will greatly improve your healing times. Blood carries nutrients and oxygen and one of its jobs is to naturally heal the body. By increasing the blood flow to the injury site, you will be increasing the nutrients and oxygen to the injury site, therefore speeding up the healing process. Look online for places that specialize in Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy medical devices.

Which BFST should I use if I want to treat multiple areas of the body?

A customer asked, "Which BFST should I use if I want to treat multiple areas of the body?"

Re: Which BFST should I use if I want to treat multiple areas of the body?

The Back/Hip BFST Wrap is a great option if you're trying to treat more than one area of the body. For example, if your knee, bicep, and lower back all are in pain or injured, you can simply position the 10" x 7" treatment area over the area where you're having pain, and wrap it around that area using the velcro straps, then do a 20 minute BFST treatment on each body part. The wrap is about 54" long, so it can accommodate pretty much any area you want to treat.
