If you do, know you have options.  No longer should you think in terms of, “I have it, it’s here to stay and I just have to deal with it”.

You see, it’s very likely that if you have knee pain and you never experienced an actual injury, the pain is likely coming from another source.

Ah ha! Now we have options!

Understand that the knee is a joint built for stability.

When looking for knee pain solutions, one of the first places we go is to the muscles surrounding the knee joint.

Are the muscles surrounding the joint strong?

Are the muscles surrounding the joint flexible?

Are the muscles surrounding the joint balanced?

This is one of the places we will begin to examine to correct the underlying problem.  There is quite a lot of improvement that can be made just by addressing and correcting the above three questions.  With corrective exercises, knee pain can be a thing of the past in a few short weeks.

Once we begin to develop strong, balanced and flexible muscles in the legs, both below and above the knee joint, the knee is able to move freely in the range of motion it was originally designed for.  Think of it like this for a moment: You’re driving your car with the brake pedal slightly pressed all the time.  Over time, that constant wear eats away and reduces the thickness of the pads.  Eventually, when you apply the brakes hard to stop, there’s little to stop the forward motion and your brakes are “loose”.  Your knee shifts slightly and “BANG”…knee pain.  Ouch!

Same thing can happen in the knee joint.  Tightness in the muscles surrounding the knee joint can cause unnecessary wear and tear inside the joint which causes the joint to become loose.  In addition, muscles that are stronger on one side of the joint can pull against the joint causing more wear and tear since the weaker muscles aren’t strong enough to keep the joint balanced.

So what’s the solution?  A few simple strength and flexibility exercises may be all you need to dramatically improve your knee and quality of life.

Stay tuned because I’ll be detailing a plan to get you pain free in no time….
