2 of 5
The knee is a complex structure that is comprised of bone, muscle, and cartilage. It is the largest joint in the human body and all the different parts of the knee need to be exercised in a proper manner. This will help ensure that the knee is properly lubricated and free of any kind of inflammatory pain, swelling or inflexibility which is caused by arthritis. It will also help facilitate smooth and easy movement and maintain a full range of motion.
All the muscles surrounding the knee must be regularly exercised, especially during the onset of pain and inflammation. Avoiding physical exercise may cause the muscles to become stiff and inflexible, leading to the lack of adequate lubrication in the knee and intensification of pain. The weakening of these muscles is what needs to be avoided for effectively dealing with pain in the knees so that they can help the joint effectively absorb shock and provide enough support for the painless motion.

For those who experience an unbearable amount of pain in the knees while exercising, taking to the water is a highly effective solution. Water exercises, such as walking in the shallow end of a pool and lightly paddling in the water are excellent ways to increase muscle strength and restore flexibility in the joint. The buoyancy of the water makes it easier for the joint to absorb shock as it reduces the impact on the bones and muscles in the joint and slowly increases the range of movement.
