Being active is one of the best things you can do for your joints and the rest of your body.
It is well known the benefits that can potentially come from playing sports, including improved heart health, a decrease in risk of diabetes and stroke, weight management, reduced blood pressure, stress relief, better sleeping habits, and an improvement in mental health.
Playing sports can also increase self-esteem, promote social interaction, and improve quality of life. But, it is also a fact that with sport comes to an increased likelihood of suffering a physical injury. And each sport has its own level of risk.
In Australia, sports with a high impact on knee injuries are AFL, soccer, Tennis, Netball, Basketball, and recently included in the list are Gym (training).
Knee rehab exercises aim to increase muscle strength, flexibility, and control. This helps reduce knee pain, stiffness, weakness, instability, and swelling caused by injuries,
By strengthening and stretching the muscles around the knee, you can reduce the forces going through the joint and improve stability.
Some of the most common problems that we are dealing with in-clinic are sprained ligaments, meniscus tears, jumpers knee, tendinitis, and runner's knee.
The location and severity of knee pain may vary, depending on the cause of the problem. Signs and symptoms that sometimes accompany knee pain include:
