Fix Clicking, Painful, Weak Knees! Dr. Mandell
Knee pain is a common issue affecting many individuals, often stemming from improper movement or tracking of the kneecap. Addressing these issues is crucial to finding relief and improving mobility.
First and foremost, it's vital to ensure that your patrates or kneecap is moving correctly. If you discover it’s not, you might notice issues such as clicking and inflammation, resulting from incorrect tracking.
You can perform simple "little impulses" on the kneecap to improve its mobility and make sure it remains relaxed and functional. These movements are essential in maintaining healthy kneecap motion, thereby avoiding pain.
To strengthen this muscle, it's advisable to perform targeted exercises. Below is a simple step-by-step process to enhance the VMO and improve your kneecap’s tracking:
- Stand against a wall with your feet shoulder-width apart and slightly flared out.
- Descend slowly, ensuring to focus pressure on the inside of your knees.
- Hold each position for 5 to 10 seconds before slowly rising.
- Repeat this movement in several sets to gradually build muscle strength.
Consistency with these exercises reveals substantial improvement within a few weeks, significantly reducing discomfort and enhancing knee flexibility.
“Make sure it’s nice and loose… get up against the wall… start to feel better again.”
