Features: Knee pain is a common symptom among middle-aged and elderly people and is one of the typical geriatric diseases. To meet the requirements of upright walking, the knee joint must be both strong and flexible, which means it supports the entire body's weight on a small contact area. For example, when walking on flat ground, the knee joint bears four times the body weight; when going up or down stairs, it bears 17 times the body weight. Such heavy load can be tolerated by young people, but as one ages, due to the aging of bones and muscles and the weakening of shock absorption capacity, even slightly complex movements become difficult to adapt to. At this stage, even a slight mishap can cause knee pain, which tends to recur and is hard to cure. This book is specifically written for knee pain sufferers, providing them with simple yet reliable methods for relieving and eliminating knee pain, as well as long-term health care strategies. Of course, a doctor's diagnosis, guidance, and advice are essential. If the treatment methods in this book are used in conjunction with medical treatment, the results will be faster and more effective.
