It is built to withstand extreme pressure. In fact your knee routinely feels the force of five to eight times your body weight with every step!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is classified as a hinge joint that bends and straightens in about 130 degrees of motion and isn\u2019t designed to\u00a0 rotate like the ball and socket joints of the hip and shoulder. What it lacks in rotational movement it makes up for in stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color\">Knee Pain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Knee pain is one of the most common orthopedic conditions for which people seek medical treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ligament sprains and cartilage tears are the most common knee injuries. Ligaments help control motion by connecting bones and bracing joints against abnormal forces.\u00a0Cartilage cushions your knee and helps to disperse force when the joint is in motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acute injuries like tears or strains are often caused by quickly changing direction, twisting or pivoting, and landing awkwardly from a jump. Injury can also occur due to repetitive motions that cause stress in the joint over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The majority of knee pain doesn\u2019t originate in the knee at all but is most often caused by problems occurring above the knee in the hip or below in the foot. For example, weak hip muscles may cause more strain on the knee, intensifying your pain. Strengthening the muscles around the hip joint can help relieve it. In addition tight muscles around the knee joint may prevent it from moving properly and can cause wear and tear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are experiencing any knee pain or reduced range of motion, see your healthcare provider right away to identify the source and put together a treatment plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can kick away knee pain by taking just a few minutes to give them the love and attention they deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color\">How To Kick Away Knee Pain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4>Stay Active<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>First don\u2019t stop moving &#8211; It can be tempting to avoid activity when you experience pain. A decrease in activity will lead to weakness in the muscles that support the knee, increasing your chances of injuries. Instead, modify your activity and take the pressure of the knee joint.\u00a0 Try water based activities like swimming or water aerobics, or try a low impact activity like cycling. Of course make sure you check with your health care provider before adding any new activity especially when you are experiencing pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Warm Up<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of activity &#8211; make sure you include a proper warm up before you get right into it in order to prime the muscles and joints and avoid injury.\u00a0 Warm-up activities can differ depending on the type of workout, but your main goal with a warm-up should be to prepare your body properly for the workout. Listen to episode 60 \u201cget your head in the game\u201d for more on warming up before your workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also make sure you aren\u2019t doing too much too fast.Gradually increase the intensity of your workouts over time to allow your body to adjust and provide the proper support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Strengthen &amp; Lengthen Muscles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>And finally, make sure to include strength &amp; flexibility training in your routine.\u00a0Keeping those knees healthy means keeping the muscles that support them long and strong.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Include exercises that strengthen the quadriceps, hamstrings and abductors as they provide support for the knee.\u00a0It\u2019s also important to work on flexibility as tight muscles can pull the knee out of alignment and cause wear and tear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few exercises:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color\">Squats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"580\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/firedupfitness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/squat_bw.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-271 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/firedupfitness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/squat_bw.png 580w, https:\/\/firedupfitness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/squat_bw-300x269.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<ol><li>Stand with your feet hip width or slightly further apart.
