We run, kneel, move, jump on them every day but a lot of us have given it a second thought. Knees, are one of the most implicated, the most focus of injury- joints in the body. Well, there is no way you can avoid getting hurt or any other kind of injury.

If you have any sort of knee injury, then you should get in looked at by a doctor. Nevertheless, if your knees are hurting from overuse or improper training, you should make the most of the following techniques to keep them in order in case it continues to increase, to help relieve the pain and help them heal really fast. When talking about knee aches, do you know that the term for all the aches and pains is called knee pain running?

When it comes to keeping them fit, if you are overweight, then you will have to lose a couple of pounds. It is important as the extra weight will strain the knee and could cause all kinds of problems. Weight loss will solve all your injury problems. Let me ask you one simple question, can you see your feet easily? If you can't then, it will be because you have a lot of fat around your waist. The excess fat, like mentioned earlier is causing your knee problems. If your knee aches are minor, then you can easily correct them orthotics which are special shoe inserts.

Furthermore, to avoid severe injuries, you have to wear the right shoes. A lot of the times, the injuries are caused due to wearing the wrong footwear. You should as much as possible, wear flats when walking around in the market and wear running shoes when going to the gym or even going for an early morning walk. With this being said, you should do or get something called a running gait analysis.
It is something that will keep tabs on how well or badly you run and give you an overall idea on how to improve. If you need professional help, then you can ask some of the expert trainers at Ten-point for help. They will take care of all your training needs and requirements.

I am going to go off track for a minute and share something with you. I came across an article online that spoke about how knee pain and running are similar. Yes, even I stopped to think for a minute and wondered how is it possible?

Well, the knee is not one single bone like the rest of the body. It is made of four bones that include the patella or the knee cap and the other ligaments that are attached to the muscles and bones of the thighs and lower legs. It is responsible for all the leg movements. It rotates or rather moves the leg to the left and right and vice-versa. Still haven't understood, well to honestly, I haven't either. But don't worry about it as it is not something you have to worry about. Simply focus on keeping your knees healthy and fit. For more information visit : http://www.ten-point.co.uk/running/coaching/
