Knee pain is a common affliction that can be caused by a variety of factors. Most often, knee pain is the result of overuse or injury. However, it can also be caused by arthritis, obesity, or even poor alignment. Fortunately, there are a number of things you can do to prevent knee pain. Keeping a healthy weight is one of the most important things you can do. Excess weight puts additional stress on your knees and makes them more vulnerable to injury.
Staying in shape and maintaining strong muscles will also help to prevent knee pain. Strong muscles help to support your joints and make them less likely to be injured. Finally, staying flexible is another key to preventing knee pain. If your muscles and joints are too tight, they are more likely to be strained or damaged. By taking some simple precautions, you can enjoy a lifetime of healthy knees.
