How to Enjoy Your Vacation Getaways Without the Discomfort

We all know how vacations are supposed to be—filled with laughter, great food, and quality time. But knee pain makes those long car rides, plane trips, or even sitting around the table for too long turn into painful experiences that steal the joy.


It's Emotional

I get it. The idea of traveling or making plans like this is just…ugh. “How long can I actually sit in the car without my knees locking up?” or “Am I going to be able to keep up with everyone once we get there?” Suddenly, what should be exciting—seeing family, celebrating, taking time off—feels stressful.


It’s exhausting when your body feels like it’s working against you, but the good news is, it doesn’t take long for things to turn around. The body is an incredible machine, and with the right focus, it can start working for you instead of against you, even before the holiday season sneaks up on us. But it starts with taking action now. The more work we do today, the more freedom you'll experience when the holidays arrive.


I’ve avoided trips before just because of the pain. Have you? It’s like, you don’t want to feel like a burden. But at the same time, missing out on those moments will suck. These are memories with family, and it hurts knowing your joints are the reason you can’t be fully present.

So I truly do know the darkness of pain but I also know that you can take control of this.


Best Advice for Traveling with Knee Pain

The very best thing that you can do right now is to start working on your body and give it a good couple of months of focused attention ahead of the holiday season. By starting now, you'll be in a much better position to reduce discomfort when it comes to staying away from home or visiting loved ones. This can make all the difference and stop the constant worry of knee pain or physical limitations holding you back.

  2. Creating flexibility in your ankles, feet and toes

    Flexible ankle joints will take the pressure off your knees as you walk around Italy, Bahamas and the Caribbean island etc.


  3. Car and Airplane Stretches

    There are 15 stretches you can perform in a car and on an airplane. The Moten Method has an aerosol of stretches you can take with you on the trip so you will always know what to do. Also perform stretches at rest stops along the way.


  4. Stop the Ankle Swelling

    Ten hour airplane plane flights and long drives along the coast of California can be beautiful and breathe taking. The long drives and flights can also cause your ankles to swell and can make it difficult to get off a plane or out of a car. Learning how to perform a specific type of massage while sitting will stop the accumulation fluid in the legs.
