WOD Doc: Stability Solution for the Knees: Flexion Knee Gapping

Episode 95: With prolonged, intense exercise over months or decades, you may begin to notice knee pain or discomfort. Many athletes use kneepads, but the research shows little benefit other than keeping the knees warm and semi-compressed.

Flexion Knee Gapping is a method that mobilizes the knee capsule and allows synovial fluid to lubricate the articular surfaces of the joint. More mobile, better lubricated joints generally feel better.
