Taking care of your knees

Pesi Padshah

In the ongoing exchanges regarding taking care of he knees, I'm not sure the point concerning 'muscle balance'has been covered. In case it hasn't, do remember that strengthening only one group of muscles acting over a joint could cause uneven wear, and make the joint unstable and injury-prone. In the knee, emphasis is usually placed on the 'extensors' ie the quadriceps muscles on the front of the thigh. To even out muscle-pull, the 'flexors' ie the hamstring'muscles situated at the back of the thigh also need to be strengthened with exs such as the 'thigh-curl'
