Simple ways to help reduce knee pain for elderly women

MINH CHÂU (THEO ONLYMYHEALTH) |

Knee pain is a common condition in women over 50 due to reduced estrogen, muscle loss and weight gain. Here are some effective ways to relieve knee pain.

Knee pain is a common problem in women, especially after the age of 50. This condition can cause difficulties in daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, and even standing still can feel pain. Compared to men, women are twice as likely to experience knee pain and arthritis, mainly due to postmenopausal hormonal changes and the natural decline in muscle mass with age.

To reduce knee pain, women over 50 need to maintain the following activities:

Strength training: Increasing muscle strength can reduce knee pain and protect joints. Focus on exercises that strengthen the knees and glutes.

Proper walking techniques: Walking is good for knee health, but you have to do it properly. You should avoid hard surfaces and wear shoes with cushions when walking.

Some easy exercises to strengthen your knees that you should know:

Squat on the chair:

- Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor.

- Push your heels up.

- Slowly lower yourself back down to the chair.

- Repeat 10-15 times.

Wall-mounted seats:

- Support yourself against a wall with your legs about 30cm apart.

- Slide down and hold in a squat, keeping your knees in line with your toes.

- Hold for 10-30 seconds, then slowly stand up.

- Repeat 3-5 times.

Standing hamstring flexor exercises

- Stand up straight and close to a chair or wall to maintain balance.

- Bend one knee, bringing your heels toward your buttocks.

- Hold for 2-3 seconds, then slowly lower your legs.

- Repeat 10-15 times on each side.
