I am 67 years old and healthy. I want your advice how to preserve my knee joints as to be mobile and not eventually get into osteo arthritis. Need preventive steps to take care. Thanks.

Dear lybrate-user I think you should keep fit and do cycling or swimming at least 30-45 minutes a day and about 5-6 days a week. Also do regular Yoga and pranayam. Have balance diet and don't put on extra weight.

Core Strengthening Exercise- Straight Leg Raised With Toes Turned Outward, repeat 10 times, twice a day. Hams Stretching- lie straight, take the leg up, pull the feet towards yourself, with a elastic tube or normal belt. repeat 10 times, twice a day. Quadriceps Exercises- Lie straight, make a towel role and put it under the knee, press the knee against the role, hold it for 20 secs. Repeat 20 times twice a day. This will help relieve some pain.
