Knee Joint - Problems coming between 40 and 45 years of age.
Knee has a solid substance called the meniscus, which is made up of cartilage and it is used as a stabiliser for the tibia and the humourous joint to work in unison. The meniscus is used during movements like walking and running. There are 4 ligaments in the knee, to help in the movement of our leg.
Before getting knee problems or if one is at the early stage of an injury and is going through some kind of minor sensation of the knee, one must do something to prevent the knee problem from becoming a major problem.
A chiropractor, doctor, physiotherapist, an osteopath may be able to assist to bring down the pain by aligning the body.
My take is to do yoga exercises so that one's meniscus wears off slowly with age and one may avoid knee injury totally. Yoga exercises do align the joints, besides enabling the muscles and joints to be strong.
I
have already mentioned that knee problem starts at 40 for the inactive and at 45 for the active. This is according to consistent studies done.
A personal experience of this has been given when I met a runner last Sunday at MacRitchie Reservoir. He told me that in the past, he had pain, and he finds that now the pain has decreased.

I told him that so far there are 3 people plus others have told me that they do not have the knee injury anymore. Hence, I find that doing the Sri Sri Yoga, which has some running stretches, is very good for preventing knee injury in the long run. Nowadays, now that I am 49 years of age, I do not have a knee injury and I thank Sri Sri Yoga for this.
Sri Sri Yoga includes breathing so that one could prevent numerous diseases as well.
It will be good for one to go for the course.
