All week long we have been looking at knees that twist in when people are moving… from a professional male runner to a midlife lady and a very young girl.
That means that knee problems aren’t two things that most people think they might be:
It isn’t a gender thing.
It isn’t an age thing,
Most people conveniently blame those two things (and others!) as the potential source of the problem.
The video today is of an older woman I observed going down the stairs, and it made my knees be sore just watching hers.
Remember, we want those knees to be like hinges and work like a door.
You can see how uncomfortable the twisting of the knee is, and how difficult it makes it to come down the stairs.
You can also see the potential for other things: losing balance, missing a step, etc.
Check out your knees: what direction are they going?
Happy FriYAY! Hope you have a Hoppy Happy Easter if you celebrate!
