'After my last knee operation both of my knees would swell up after exercise, which shut down my quad muscles so I lost a lot of muscle needed to keep my knees strong. I then had treatment with the Winks Greene Transeva [by Dr Hayley Bedell-Sivright] and found that it woke my muscles up and got rid of the swelling. Since then my knees have been injury free.
