Murphs knee savers and hips
« on: June 20, 2011, 01:18:20 PM »
Hi,
I am thinking about Murphs knee savers.  Not for my knees, but my hips.  I am beginning to have problems that feel like gravel or something in the joint.  Think these would help.  I know they are for knees and I have seen at least one post that said others have commented on the improvement in hip comfort.  Anyone with experience?
Regards,
John Mc

I'd like to know also as my hips are bothered more than my knees.

Yes, KneeSavers help my hips.  And my knees.

Wrecked my new 03 Concours in April of 03, broke both hips and shattered my pelvis.  Lots of steel holding me together.  KneeSavers make a huge difference.

I tried putting the bike back to stock recently, and after 100 miles, I was hurting.  KneeSavers went back on REALLY quickly.

I had the same problem with hip pain until I installed Murph's knee savers. They help a whole lot.

I have sensitive hips too. Probably from running too much in junior and high school. Any kind of leg extension is good. Look into a set of highway pegs which wil really help you.
