The knee is one of the largest joints in the body. It provides us the flexibility to do daily activities like sitting, standing, walking, running with ease. Age related knee problems are common, however, due to changing lifestyle, younger people are also experiencing knee pains. This may be due to….

- Nutritional deficiency
- Heavy intake of sodium
- Smoking or drinking
Here are some of the changes that may help to strengthen the knees:
- Do A Proper Knee Exercise: There are some exercise which are targeted on the knees especially. This exercise helps in strengthening the weak muscles around knee joints it also helps in strengthening knee bones. These exercise includes sit-ups, step-ups, lunges, squats, thigh contraction, knee bends, knee strengthening stretches, swiss ball, straight leg raises.

Get a proper guidance on the exercises which are suitable for the patient.
