Health Tip: Exercise a Painful Knee
By LadyLively on September 20, 2016
The thought of exercising an aching knee may sound painful, but gentle stretches can really help ease symptoms.
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons explains how:
- By strengthening surrounding muscles. This means better shock absorption, less pain and less risk of future injury.
- By loosening tight muscles, which are more prone to injury
- By enhancing flexibility in the knee, making the joint and surrounding muscles less sore.
