Patients with knee pain have “impaired ability to absorb load” when landing from a jump- leading to more pain. While knee pain can come from many sources, here are 5 tips that can help:
✅ Minimize activities that provoke your pain, especially running & jumping 🏃
✅ Don’t allow your knees to cross in front of your toes when squatting
✅ Modify your activity to include swimming or bicycling instead of running 🚴
✅ Put ice around your knee for 10-15 minutes 2x per day ❄
