The Role of Exercise in Managing Knee Pain
Exercise is vital in managing knee pain for seniors. It serves as a natural “lotion” for the joints, facilitating nutrient exchange and reducing inflammation. Engaging in regular physical activity not only helps to lubricate the joints but also enhances their flexibility and function, leading to diminished pain and stiffness.
Furthermore, preserving muscle mass is crucial for knee joint support. Strong muscles around the knees provide stability and lessen the load on the joints during movements. Integrating exercises that focus on the muscles surrounding the knees can bolster joint function and mitigate pain.
