Massage, including thigh massage after knee replacement and lymphatic massage after knee replacement, promotes fluid exchange. Post-surgery, limited mobility causes fluid buildup and inflammation.

Knee pain can stem from various sources, including osteoarthritis, ligament injuries, meniscus tears, or overuse injuries like runner's knee. Each of these conditions might require slightly different knee massage approaches, so it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis.
