How To Climb Stairs Correctly To Prevent Knee Pain

5/16/2020

 
So just a few days ago we looked at how to descend stairs when you have new pain/when going down steps reproduces the pain.

Learn How To Properly Walk Down Stairs When You Suffer From Knee Pain

5/13/2020

 
So today I would like to start a serie on knee pain. I will approach several common reasons for having knee pain with common movements and tasks. I will also demonstrate what you can do about it and what you can change with specific exercises that will help you correct what you are doing wrong.

We have many patients that come to see us with complaints of knee pain stating that they have had increasing difficulty with knee pain when they ascend or descend stairs,  going over curbs or stepping off a high platform, and even walking or hiking on hills.
Using stairs is a required and normal part of life to participate in society but it is far from easy for many.

A lot of people that have knee pain think or have the conception that the problem is coming from inside the knee joint, that a structure is likely injured or not doing what it is supposed to do. I am here to tell you that it is rarely the case. I think that the knee joint generally deteriorates only from direct trauma, or much more often from problem occurring  at the hip and ankle joints instead.
