2. Strengthening Exercises
They are included in physical activity, but we’re listing strengthening exercises to make a point. Walking around your block for 10 minutes is not the same as doing sit-ups or exercising with a leg machine. This type of exercise is excellent for knee pain but not when you have acute pain.
After treating the main symptom, go ahead and focus on strengthening your legs. Doing so will protect your knees and strengthen the joints as well. Just be careful and use lighter loads until your doctor recommends more weight.
You could even walk with light weights attached to your legs, it is also beneficial. According to a study, Osteoarthritis symptoms can be improved after just 12 weeks of light-duty walking. This is wonderful news because it can be done anywhere by anyone without specialized equipment.
