According to Dr Rajiv Raj Choudhry, an Orthopedic surgeon in India, incorrect posture when climbing stairs can put a lot of pressure on the joints.
Choudhry recommends that instead of placing only half of your foot on the stairs, practitioners should place the entire foot on the stairs and avoid putting the toes on the weight.
In addition, using railing to support when climbing and climbing stairs is also an effective measure.
Mistakes can cause serious joint pain, especially in the knees, Dr. Choudhry emphasizes.
Sharing the same view, Dr. Anup Khatri, Ph.D. Department of Orthopedics at Gleneagles Hospital, Mumbai (India), said that keeping the torso straight and using the core muscles when climbing stairs is very important.
"Most people are in a hurry to climb stairs, but slow down to reduce pressure on the knees," Dr. Khatri recommends.
In particular, if you have problems with your knees or have chronic symptoms, using railings for support is very helpful.
You should also avoid carrying heavy objects when climbing stairs, as this can increase pressure on the knee and hip joints, causing pain.
In addition, using quality shoes with good cushioning and high Adhesion is necessary to protect your feet during exercise.
If you feel severe pain when climbing stairs, consult your doctor immediately to determine the cause and have timely treatment.
Dr. Khatri also points out that engaging in physical activities, such as exercising for about 45 minutes a day, can help strengthen the knees and improve overall health.
Continuous exercise helps increase blood circulation, recover quickly from injury and reduce the risk of ligament wear and tear.
In short, to climb stairs safely and effectively, pay attention to posture, speed and joint protection through reasonable support measures.
