Discover the FIVE Key Reasons
Behind Your Knee Discomfort
===============🦵🦿
discomfort can result from various factors, but 5 key reasons commonly contribute to this issue:
✴️ Thicker and less flexible ligaments surrounding -
Conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, or other inflammatory joint diseases affect the knee joint, leading to discomfort, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.
✴️ Inflammation in tendons -
Commonly referred to as tendonitis. This condition often occurs due to repetitive movements, overuse, injury, or aging. It affects areas like the shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, and heels.
✴️ Weak knee muscles due to lack of exercise -
Weakness or imbalance in the muscles supporting the knee, such as the quadriceps, hamstrings, or calf muscles, can put undue stress on the knee joint, causing discomfort and instability.
✴️ Wear and tear of cartilage (cartilage degeneration) -
Strain or injury to the knee due to sudden movements, twisting, impact, or repetitive stress (such as running or jumping) can lead to discomfort. Injuries like ligament tears (ACL, PCL, MCL), meniscus tears, tendonitis, or bursitis can cause pain and limit mobility.
✴️Poor Biomechanics and Alignment -
Incorrect posture, poor body mechanics during physical activities, or misalignment of the knee due to issues like flat feet or excessive pronation can contribute to knee discomfort.
The journey to optimal joint health begins with understanding its significance and taking proactive steps toward its preservation. Together, let's stride towards a life where healthy joints support our every move and adventure!🖼
