• Sitting on the floor or bed with folded knee ( frog style). Make your you straighten your legs every 30 mins or just do 5 kicks each side.
• Sleeping all night with straight knees gives our knees alot of tension putting a pillow under our knees is always a good idea for supporting them and to keep them healthy.
• Walking when we walk we always walk with heel strike means we walk keeping our knee touching the ground first. Which cause legs to be straight even in hyperextended position which is really bad for our knees.so walk always keeping flat foot or your toes should be landing first keeping knees soft not lock.
