Exercises for knee joints

The most common disease that causes people to think about the health of their knees is gonarthrosis of the knee joints. It is at such moments, in a state of panic, that a choice is made-to be cured with exercises for the knee joints, or to lower your hands, restrict movement, and get painkillers.

Of course, the correct choice of suitable exercises for strengthening the knee joint is obvious. We want to acquaint you with some rules that must be taken into account when it comes to already aching joints.

  1. The complex of exercises for the knee joint should be performed daily for 40-50 minutes. In this case, it is best to break it into 15-minute intervals to give joints a rest.
  2. Begin training with slow movements, very smoothly increasing the amplitude.
  3. Focus your attention on the patient's joint - imagine how, thanks to physical exercises for the knee joint, blood flows into it, tissues are regenerated, and pain passes.
  4. With severe pain, doctors recommend performing exercises in the water. But for this you need to enroll in a course of therapeutic aqua-gymnastics.

Exercises are beneficial for the ligaments and cartilages of the knee joint, because moving, we strengthen the nearby muscles and remove the load from the joint itself.
