Does knee pain keep you from enjoying the summertime? Knee problems are common as we get older, since the knee joint takes a lot of strain and the full weight of your body all day. However, if you notice that mild knee pain is preventing you from taking walks along the beach, golfing, visiting museums, or wandering through art galleries, then your knee problems should be addressed. A knee brace may help prevent further injury and allow you to stay active. The knee joint is sensitive and is also one of the slowest joints to heal in the body. If you have a knee injury, it can take 6 to 12 months for the injury to fully heal. In the meantime, don’t sit around and wait for healing! Many people also experience knee pain increasingly as they age, but that doesn’t mean you should stop exercising. Yes, you should be gentle and think twice about crashing after that volleyball if it means falling on your knees to get it, but it doesn’t mean you can’t find any type of activities to enjoy if you have knee problems. Whether you have knee problems or not, you need to stay as active as possible to protect your health and to prevent unnecessary weight gain, which often accompanies knee injuries since these types of injuries make it so difficult to enjoy or even participate in sports or exercises you enjoy. Wearing a patella knee brace is often a good way to stabilize your knees and prevent injuries. If you know your knees are easily injured, strap on these simple braces before doing anything that would strain your knees. It just might save your knees and keep you active in the years ahead.
