“Knee pain can occur at any age, for many reasons. Whether it’s degenerative changes, inflammatory processes, muscle imbalances or injury, “physiotherapist Matyáš Rytina from the Karlín Department of Holistic Therapy and Sports VO2MAX in Prague explained to the News.
–
Joint pain can be caused by, for example, poor walking or sitting, unsuitable shoes, sports injuries, but also hidden illnesses such as arthritis or osteoarthritis.
–
According to the physiotherapist, the cause of knee pain can be found in other parts of the body.
–
“Most often people feel knee pain on the inside below or behind the knee. The problem can be directly in the knee, but also elsewhere, most often in the hips or ankles, “added Rytina.
–
Even a classic squat can help with knee pain.
However, persistent pain should not be underestimated; in addition to fatigue, they may also indicate more serious functional problems or structural changes in the knee. These already require a visit from a specialist, such as an orthopedist.

But the simple exercises presented by the physiotherapist Rytina in the video can also help with pain so that you can easily manage them at home. “It is important to exercise once or twice a day to achieve a result,” he added.
