Can I practice yoga if my knee is not good? People with bad knees can also practice yoga, because yoga is a gentle exercise, but not all the movements in yoga are suitable for people with bad knees, so you should choose when practicing.
For people with knee pain, proper yoga practice can also relieve them and help them recover. The best way to prevent knee joint pain or recover from knee joint injury is to maintain a healthy weight, enhance the flexibility and reflex adjustment ability of knee joint balance muscles, and make the knee joint less injured. Yoga practice can achieve this effect. However, the details still depend on the degree of knee pain. If the knee is only slightly painful, due to arthritis, synovitis and other reasons, appropriate exercise can promote the recovery of the knee, but not too intense. This can be done in some yoga moves that will not cause too much burden to children. However, knee pain is caused by dislocated knee and meniscus injury, which requires rest and recovery, so you need to lie down for a while according to the doctor's advice, and yoga should be put down first.
For people with bad knees, it is necessary to choose some suitable poses when practicing yoga, otherwise it may cause more serious consequences. In yoga, try not to do the knee joint weight-bearing action first. In addition, in the process of yoga practice, we must listen to the body's reaction. If there is dull pain for a long time, especially in the joints, you should consult a professional coach or go to the hospital for examination in time and listen to the doctor's guidance. We must not delay blindly and solve problems blindly, so as to avoid problems.
