This simple remedial exercise will help reset your hips, knees, and ankles, right from your kitchen chair. Next time you’re at the breakfast table sit at the front edge of the seat, placing a yoga block, pillow or a ball similar to a soccer ball, between your knees. Make sure your knees are stacked and aligned with ankles, and toes pointing foward. Apply some pressure to the ball to hold it in place, then sit up tall, and behin lifting your heels up, then slowlyrest heels, followed by lifting toes. Repeat this process, a rocking chair, motion, to stimulate hip, inner thigh, and groin to better stabilize the knee, simultaneously working on the nervous system of the entire leg. Start off with one minute every other day for a week, then increase your time to three minutes the next week. Gradually increased to five minutes by week three. By fitting this into your regular routine, you will maximize what you’re already doing, moving on a daily basis.
