Knee 'exercise' I sure ain't no kid no more

[Guest guest]

Here ya go, Sylvia:

 

 

 

Here’s

a knee ‘exercise’ that sometimes does wonders.

 

While sitting

with your legs hanging down, extend the lower leg up as far as it will go, like

straight out in front of you. Now here’s

the ‘exercise’: take a full 20 seconds to do this.

Lower the leg normally IE not timing it like when raising it up. Repeat

this movement two more times on the same knee to total 3 reps. Then do

the other knee due to the ‘stroke effect’. You can do this

twice a day.

 

This was

developed by a Chiropractor that had hurt his knee. He was on the seminar

circuit so he had been adjusted by just about every Chiropractor in the country

with not much help. Putting all these experiences together, he developed

this. Now, here’s the best part. When he showed this, I had a

knee injury myself. I had run into a fence on my bike and hit my

knee. Pain for awhile but after that I could no longer flex it when

stooping down to the floor. This was a year old injury and I just figured

‘oh well, I’ll have to live with this, no pain, just look really funny

when having to stoop down to the floor’. Here’s the bestest

part J I did this ‘exercise’ for a couple of weeks and voila, I

could again flex my knee!!!!!!!!! I still do it on occasion ‘cause

old knee injuries have a way of rearing their ugly heads in later decades and

I’m entering those later decades <groan> so will be really

interested to see what happens with this knee. I’m sure the lemon

egg, PP, weight management and all the other stuff I do will also help delay

the effects.

 

Golly, I hope

it works for you. It might not work during the acute stage but keep it in

mind and do it at some point just to strengthen your knees for the next time

you want to play J
