There are many different reasons for knee pain. Consult your healthcare provider.

If you have arthritis, exercise can help pain. If exercise is not possible, ask your doctor if a knee injection will help. Cortisone or hyaluronic acid can be used, but there are other treatments being trialed.

The safest exercise for knees is running in deep water. If you don’t have a pool readily available, then using a stationary bicycle is great for knees. Make sure your leg is almost straight when your pedal is at the lowest point.

– You don’t have to bend your knees as much as the person who is demonstrating the exercise. Just bend the knees to a point of comfort.
