Can it be efficiently used for knees?

well it certainly gets hot. I don't see why you couldn't put it on your knees. Just put something a little heavy; like a pillow to press the heat on knees. This pad is so much bigger tha sunbeams.

I use it for my back and I love it! I don't see why it can't be used for any part of the body that needs it!

The heating pad is large but flexible and has a Velcro strap that could hold it around your knees while sitting. I use it for my back and have not tried it on knees but I think it would work. It has a really good heat and time control. My older ones only had an off/on switch. I use mine every day and am very happy with it.

How efficient it would be?? I am not sure? Would hurt to try. I would suggest fish oil or glucosamine or soak in hot water with a cup full of Epson salt.

I would not buy it again. It's expensive and if you use it more than the minimal hours per day stated in the warranty, the warranty is void. Ours went out after about 11 months and when I called the manufacturer that was the first question they asked and then they happily said we had voided the warranty. My wife got one at walmart after that for $10, has the auto shutoff and 3 heat levels and it works great. I assume Amazon has something similar as well. As to your specific question however, it is probably too big for knee use unless you are just laying it across the top. It shouldn't be folded or mashed in any way I would not buy it again.

I never used it for that but I don't see where that would be a problem. When I no longer needed it, I gave it to someone else with a bad knee.

It has a pretty good range of adjustment. 3 inches should be no problem. But your knees may not have much room!

I would say no. The (green) ends are pliable, but not enough to bend around a knee.

I have not tried it on my knees. I know on my face it evens out skin tone and tightens it.

Absolutely and will be kind to your knees as well. Hadn't thought of using it inside but it would certainly make life easier.

No. This is to put pressure on the patella tendon. This is not used for any protection of the knee.

yes. if you want to save your back and knees, apply using a swifter or similar small mop, e.g. Small Navy Microfiber Strip Wet Mop

I'm sure it will help somewhat. It works like tiger balm. However, the medication is on an elastic pad (like a bandaid) so I don't know how well the adhesive will work on a joint like a knee. Perhaps if you weren't moving. Hope that helps.

Yes. It is cushioned on both sides so it can be used either as a kneeler or a bench. Ann

No! but I use it to do weight bearing knee exercises. it works find for that and balancing exercises.

you probably can but they have a tendency to slide from left to right on your knee if you move around too much. They would give some comfort but probably not worth the effort of keeping them straight. One of the rectangular foam pads used for gardening etc. May be a better option.

I use it for pain relief for various joints with osteoarthritis, none with joint replacements, and it works well for me. PLEASE ask your physician if it is safe and appropriate for you to use - he/she will know what it is and is the ONLY person who can give you the correct advice for your personal situation. DON'T DO ANYTHING THAT MIGHT COMPROMISE YOUR NEW KNEE!!!

There is a lot of movement that involves kicking, running in place, and jumping, so depending on how bad your knees are, it might not be the best. He does however offer variations for lower impact as needed.

I think this mat would be excellent for kneeling on a hard surface such as a concrete floor. However, I would want some information about the mat's resistance to chemicals such as gasoline and oil.

iIwould not advise it. Sitting and kneeling is what it's designed for in my opinion.

I think y u can use it. My dad uses it. So I donot know exactly. But this one can fit any fat or thin knees since it is freely wrapped
