Wear Proper Footwear

Choosing the right shoes can make a big difference in the health of your knees. Look for shoes with good arch support and cushioning to help absorb shock and reduce stress on your knees. It is also a good idea to replace your shoes every 300-500 miles, or whenever they start to feel worn out.

Use Proper Form

Proper form is crucial for protecting your knees, especially when lifting weights or doing high-impact exercises. Be sure to engage your core and keep your knees aligned with your toes to avoid putting unnecessary strain on the joint. If you are unsure of the proper form for a particular exercise, consider working with a personal trainer or fitness instructor.

Take Breaks and Stretch

If you are doing a lot of high-impact exercises or have been sedentary for a long time, it is important to give your knees a break and stretch them out. Take frequent breaks to rest and stretch your quads, hamstrings, and calves. This can help improve flexibility and reduce the risk of injury.

Foam Rollers

Foam rollers are often used in knee pain recovery. Using a roller on the hip region, and around the knee joint can create a lot of pain at the beginning, but after a few times of using it, you’ll build up a tolerance.

Isometric Hip-Flexion

You can do this exercise by laying down or sitting in a chair. No matter which way you pick, it’s all about building up resistance as you push or lift your legs.

Single-Leg Squats

By doing this exercise you will feel your knees getting stronger and stronger. All pressure is on them, and the knees are doing all the moving, so it’s a great exercise for strengthening them.

You’ve probably heard this myth many times over the years. Some believe that you can injure your knees by doing squats and that belief dates back to the ‘70s, to the era when group workouts first became popular. The truth is that squats are actually a great exercise for improving the health of your knees.

Everyone should be able to squat, but that doesn’t mean that everyone should do this often. It’s important to master the right way to do this exercise in order to remove any chance of injury. The correct squat is done from the hips, not the knees. When you do it right, your glute and hip muscles should do the work, while your knees just bend. And when you do them right, squats are one of the best things you can do for your knees!
