Knee Pain? Start With Calf Raises

6/7/2019

It's pretty amazing. I see tons of people with knee pain and I consistently notice decrease calf size (atrophy) of the involved leg. Can you guess which knee is bothering the gentleman above? Patients don't believe me, so I have collected all these pictures of people's calves. These are a few since March 2019. Check them out:

The exercise to help??? Simple!! Calf raises but with a few important rules to follow:

Use a step or stair; something with a drop off
Explore the ENTIRE motion; let the heel drop down then go all the way up as high as you can on your toes
Do 10 single leg. Then 10 both legs. Repeat 3 times.

You may be sore the next day, but that will subside. You should notice more stability and strength in the knee with it being easier going up/down stairs and walking a bit faster.

If you have any questions, please give me a holler!

Enjoy your weekend!

Thanks For Sharing Information about knee pain and its causes."If you're experiencing knee pain, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause. Depending on the diagnosis, there are a variety of treatment options that can help alleviate pain and improve function. Physical therapy and exercises that target the muscles that support the knee, such as the quadriceps and hamstrings, may be beneficial. In some cases, over-the-counter or prescription medications may also be recommended. Additionally, it's important to maintain a healthy weight and practice good posture to reduce stress on the knee. Remember to always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment."

You make a great point about building up your load appropriately. My brother has some severe tennis elbow. I'll have to consider sending him to a rheumatologist.
