Meniscus injury may not require surgery
Certain exercises can support knee meniscus health by strengthening surrounding muscles, improving joint stability, and enhancing mobility. Targeted movements for the quadriceps, hamstrings, and hip muscles reduce stress on the meniscus, promoting better knee alignment and resilience. These exercises aid in pain management, prevent further injury, and support long-term knee function.
Correct squat lifting technique helps you to stay strong
Using correct squat lifting technique not only strengthens your muscles and bones but also boosts mental health. Loading through the body stimulates bone density, reducing injury risk, while releasing endorphins that enhance mood and reduce stress. Practicing safe, effective squat techniques builds physical resilience and supports overall well-being.
