KNEE PAIN
Knee pain is discomfort that occurs in or around the knee joint. It can be caused by injuries, overuse, or conditions like arthritis. Symptoms include swelling, stiffness, and difficulty moving the knee. Common causes include ligament sprains, tendonitis, or cartilage damage. Treatment may involve rest, ice, physical therapy, or in severe cases, surgery.
HOW TO PREVENT KNEE PAIN
Knee pain is a common problem caused by injury, aging, obesity, weak muscles, or joint conditions like arthritis. Following healthy habits can help protect your knees and prevent long-term pain.
1. Maintain Healthy Body Weight
- Extra weight puts pressure on knee joints. Keeping weight under control reduces knee strain.
2. Strengthen Knee Muscles
- Do exercises to strengthen thigh (quadriceps), hamstring, and calf muscles to support the knees.
3. Regular Low-Impact Exercise
- Choose walking, swimming, cycling, and yoga instead of high-impact sports.
4. Warm Up Before Activity
- Always stretch and warm up before exercise or heavy work to avoid knee injury.
5. Maintain Proper Posture
- Stand and sit straight. Avoid sudden twisting or bending movements.
