Movements to avoid knee pain

These exercises will give your knees and ankles the mobility they need. We tell you how to avoid knee pain.

How many times have you paid attention to your ankles? Do you give them movement during your exercise? Doing the latter can make a big difference in avoiding knee pain. When your ankles cannot achieve 360-degree movement, then your knees will be forced into a side-to-side movement. If your knees are not stabilized, this can lead to hip pain. Everything is connected, this will cause chain reactions with your body. Fortunately, rehabilitating those ankles turns out to be a very simple task. These 3 exercises will help you recover movement in your ankles: Squat Movement Stay in the final position of a squat or squat, trying to have your feet at shoulder distance. Your hands should be together in front of your chest and your elbows should be pressing outward on the inside of your knees. Balance yourself, carrying your weight on your ankles, from one side to the other. Do this exercise for 30 seconds. Ankle Stretch Let’s start in the next position. Place one of your knees on the floor. The other one must be in front of you. Support yourself with a wall. The knee in front of you should be at a 90-degree angle. While you touch the floor with your knee that is behind you, try to bend the knee that is in front of you and touch the wall with it, maintain that position for 5 seconds and then return to the starting position. Repeat this 2 more times and with each knee. Ankle Massage While standing, take a tennis ball and step on it with one of your feet. Roll the ball up and down with your foot. If you find a sensitive spot, hold the ball in that area for a few seconds and add a little more pressure. Do this exercise for 30 – 60 seconds. These exercises will give your knees and ankles the mobility they need. Remember to find balance in each exercise, otherwise you could hurt yourself. If you find discomfort when doing these exercises, we recommend visiting an expert.
