Mark's Daily Apple Wednesday, December 14, 2022 12:02 PM The knee is almost always the first joint to go when people "start getting old." How many people do you know have given up any kind of serious physical activity because of their "bad knees"? How many people avoid the gym because their knees are supposedly too stiff? How many people take the elevator to go up a floor, avoid hikes because they can't handle the hills, or give up on their favorite sports—all because their knees hurt? It's too many. It's a damn shame, and it doesn't have to be like that. The knee is actually a very powerful joint. Surrounded on two sides and supported by powerful muscles, tendons, and ligaments, buttressed by cartilage and fascia, and capable of great feats of recovery and regeneration, the knee is stronger and more resilient than most people realize. However, the knee has to be cultivated and strengthened. It has to engage in various movements to help it get stronger and make it stop hurting. If you want to reduce knee pain—or stave it off before it happens—these are the knee strengthening exercises for you. 1. Couch Stretch The couch stretch, a movement and term coined by Kelly Starrett of Ready State fame, is a stretch that undoes hours of sitting. When we sit, our hip flexors rest in a flexed position. They're flexed but not flexed. It's a passive flexion that leaves them tight and weak. Then, when we go to do some squats or any other dynamic knee-centric sport or movement, we have to deal with all that tension upstream of the knee. Try squatting. Just a basic air squat. See how it feels to rest in the bottom position. Maybe it's okay, maybe it's hard. Either way, take a mental note of how you feel squatting. Next, try the couch stretch for a minute or two on each side. Then try squatting again. You should feel much less pressure on your knees and a greater ability to rest in the bottom position comfortably. 2. Knee Circles Toperform the knee circles, place your hands on your quadriceps, just above the knee caps. Allow the weight of your upper body to push down and rest on your hands. Then, give a few slow knee bends, flexing and extending your knees to "set" your menisci. Begin doing slow knee circles, first clockwise and then counterclockwise. Do about 30 seconds in each direction slowly, gradually, and deliberately, and really feel like you're hitting every angle of your knee. Knee circles are great for people with meniscus issues. They allow you to compress every part of the meniscus and help generate the stimulus needed to promote healing and regeneration. Because they're low intensity, slow, and deliberate, knee circles rarely hurt. If you feel a sharp pain, try reducing the angle of flexion. These are a great warmup before leg workouts, or even done every morning as a warmup for life. 3. Tear Drop Squats The teardrop squat is named for its ability to target … Continue reading "7 Exercises to Relieve Knee Pain" The post 7 Exercises to Relieve Knee Pain appeared first on Mark's Daily Apple. |
