Health Tip: Exercise Your Knees After Injury
By LadyLively on July 21, 2015
If you’ve hurt one or both knees, performing gentle exercises can help bring them back to full strength.
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons suggests:
- Begin exercises slowly, increasing weight or repetitions over time.
- Never ignore pain. While some discomfort is likely, it’s not OK to have significant pain during exercise.
- Don’t push yourself too hard. After exercise, mild soreness or stiffness is OK, but severe pain or difficulty moving is not.
- Talk to your doctor or physical therapist if you have questions about how you should exercise your knees.
