Overnight, while you lie still for eight hours, that fluid cools and thickens. Doctors have a name for the stiffness that follows: the gel phenomenon. Cold makes it worse. Researchers followed 200 people with knee osteoarthritis, and colder days came with more pain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo the advice most people get is backwards. Resting it is what thickens it. Warming the joint before you stand up is what makes the first steps possible, and movement is the thing that actually keeps a knee working.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat it is\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeep heat, 5 levels:\u003c\/strong\u003e from 113°F to 149°F, on the joint itself.
