The problems?
Our cartilage deteriorates, our muscles are weaker, bones become less dense, many people are too sedentary, many have osteoarthritis, have gained weight and possibly because many have had previous knee injuries.
Those are the issues.
So … what are things you can do to stay active, mobile and free of knee discomfort when you get older?
→ (1) Regular exercise and strength training of the lower body (with a concentration on strengthening the hips) can help.
→ (2) it is imperative that we keep exercising and strength training throughout life to counter these changes and to prevent injury.
→ (3) Physical therapy — which can help you target weaknesses and improve mobility, can also be useful for offsetting the effects of sarcopenia.
→ (4) Optimising low impact, load-bearing exercises can help keep your bones healthy. Specifically, resistance training with bands is a great way to work on muscle strengthening in people with low bone density who may not be able to do more high-impact strength training exercises.
→ (5) Simply put: start moving. If we don’t move it, we lose it, and staying active is medicine. Adhering to the guidelines for activity (150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per week) can help to keep the body from being deconditioned.
→ (6) Topical or oral anti-inflammatory medications, such as acetaminophen and/or non-steroidal anti-inflammatories.
→ (7) Physical therapy can help you strengthen your muscles and adapt to your new weight, also can also support healthy weight loss. Even losing a few pounds can reduce the strain on your joints and help
