Exercising properly helps reduce pain, stiffness, and slow down the progression of knee osteoarthritis. Patients should focus on gentle, low-impact exercises that are easy to do at home, such as:
- Straight leg raises: Strengthens thigh muscles, reduces pressure on the knee.
- Hamstring stretches: Improves flexibility, relieves pain.
- Half squats: Strengthens the thighs and glutes.
- Walking, cycling, swimming: Full-body exercises that benefit both heart health and joints.
Note: Warm up thoroughly, apply heat before exercise – use cold compresses afterward. Stop exercising and consult a doctor if you experience significant pain or swelling.
Tip: Aim for 30 minutes/day, 5 days/week, or break it into shorter sessions.
