Lasers and ultrasound, all done with one machine, it's just this laser thingie the therapeust holds and presses against seemingly random spots around my knee cap. After that, she puts some gel and proceeds with the ultrasound, these two last about 15 minutes, and then about 15 minutes of electrotherapy with vacuum units that look like this:



It gives a tingling sensation around and inside the knee area.

Yesterday I talked to another physio, and he told me that the 10 sessions I had were not enough (the one where I did them told me about 10 is sufficient), he said that about 10 is enough for lasers and ultrasound to take effect, but for effective electro therapy I should have done at least 20 sessions.

Anyway, yesterday I played soccer on some pretty bad astro turf, it was very slippery, like running on snow, every time I tried to change direction at speed I would slide out. An hour was enough to kill my right knee I wouldn't have described my previous condition as pain, merely as a kind of higher sensitivity or something, but after that game, it feels really sore, I feel as if I destroyed all that I gained with this therapy just with an hour of running on bad surface.

I bought a knee brace, it feels comfortable, a really simple one, when I do google image search for "knee brace" I get all these kind of high tech braces with various belts and stuff, I don't know about that...
