• Introduction:

1. Importance of knees:

The knee joint is the largest, most complex and most gravity-bearing joint in the human body. Humans need the knee joint for support throughout their lifelong walking and exercise. The bones of the knee joint cannot be regenerated and cannot be restored after structural damage. Therefore, we should pay attention to the health of the knee joint and consciously maintain the knee joint in daily life.

2. Common knee joint diseases:

Knee arthritis, knee ligament injury, knee cartilage tear (meniscus tear), patellofemoral syndrome, prepatellar bursitis, iliotibial band syndrome.

• What causes knee pain?

The knee is one of the most frequently used joints. Structural damage (caused by sports or external force) or functional damage (caused by degeneration of knee function) can cause knee pain.

Here are some common causes of knee pain:

1. Overuse of the knee joint
2. Weak muscles around the knee
3. Excessive twisting and sliding of the knee during exercise
4. Excessive obesity increases knee pressure
5. Long-term wear and tear leads to thinning of knee cartilage and functional degeneration

• The impact of different exercises on knee health

Exercise will cause the knee to flex and extend and rotate forward and backward within the joint. Proper exercise can tighten and relax the muscles, promote blood circulation around the knee joint, and is beneficial to the health of the knee joint. However, excessive exercise impact or twisting can cause structural damage to the knee joint and lead to knee pain.

Exercises that are good for knee health:

Swimming, alternating between brisk and slow walking, indoor cycling, etc.

Exercises that are likely to damage knee health:

Wrong running posture, wrong cycling posture, mountain climbing

• Early signs and treatment of knee pain

Common knee injuries in life do not become serious quickly. In the early stages of knee pain, the knee can recover on its own through simple treatments, so we need to understand the early signs and treatments of knee injuries.

Early signs of knee pain:

1. There is a sound or friction when the knee moves
2. Slight pain or discomfort around the knee
3. Pain when the knee is bent, such as: squatting, running, crawling on stairs
4. Slight swelling of the knee

How to deal with knee injuries yourself:

1. Let the knee rest and reduce the time of knee movement
2. Use ice cubes to relieve pain, or apply joint pain-relieving plaster
3. Wear knee pads to prevent excessive twisting of the knee during use
4. Use a knee massager to relax the knee and relieve knee discomfort

• When should you seek professional treatment for a knee injury?

Early knee pain can be cured by itself through reasonable methods. If the knee pain cannot be relieved or the knee structure is seriously damaged, you should go to the hospital in time to seek professional medical help.

In the following situations, please go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible:

1. When knee pain cannot be relieved by self-treatment
2. When the pain is severe and you cannot walk
3. When an accident causes knee joint deformation

• Knee condition at each age

The human body will undergo different changes as we age. Therefore, understanding the state of the knees at different stages as early as possible can allow us to take different knee protection measures more scientifically to ensure the health of the knees.

1. Before the age of 18:During the growth period of the knees, knee discomfort is prone to occur. Appropriate exercise and rest, while using a knee massager can relieve knee discomfort.
2. 19-30 years old:The golden age of the knees, when the knees are the strongest, it is easy for people to ignore the protection of the knees. Avoid excessive use of the knees at this stage and take proper rest
3. 31-45 years old:Long-term use of the knees leads to slight wear of the knee structure. At this time, avoid strenuous exercise that may cause damage to the knee structure.
4. Over 46 years old:After decades of use, the body's self-repair function declines and enters a fragile period. At this time, the burden on the knees should be reduced and attention should be paid to the maintenance of the knees.

• What are the ways to prevent knee injuries?

After understanding the relevant knowledge about knee pain, our attention to knee health has increased. Therefore, we need to master the common methods to prevent knee injuries.

The following are common ways to prevent knee injuries:

1. Avoid bending your knees for long periods of time, such as sitting for long periods of time or crossing your legs
2. Avoid wearing high heels for long periods of time
3. Increase muscle training around the knees to allow stronger muscles to protect the knees
4. Perform knee stretching warm-up exercises before and after exercise
5. Wear knee pads during exercise to prevent excessive twisting of the knees during exercise
6. Use shoes with shock-absorbing effects to prevent severe vibrations from impacting the knees during exercise
7. After long periods of knee activity, use a knee massager to relax the muscles around the knees to prevent knee fatigue from causing joint injuries.

• Conclusion:

The knee is one of the most important joints in the human body. The health of the knee can keep us active and able to cope with anything. In any case, we should pay attention to the health of the knee as early as possible and protect the knee in daily life.
