- Do not stand with your knees locked. Bend your knees a little bit when you stand.
- Do not stand on one leg. Alternate. Place inserts in your shoes (squishy kind).
- Have a high stool, and have a half-sit, half-stand – Sit-Stand Station.
- If you sit a lot – every half an hour, bend your knees.
- If you sit a lot – have your knees bent at 90 degrees (not more than 90 degrees). Healthy for your knees and your back as well. Do 5 fast kicks every half an hour. Kick them out as straight as you can, and hold for a second. – A little bit of stretch, and a little bit of strengthening.
- If you sit in Lotus position for too long, then you can get back pain, and knee pain.
- If you sit in Frog position, then you can get knee pain.
- Don’t kneel for too long.
- Walking – take shorter strides. When heel strikes occur, it puts a lot of stress on the knee joints. Hit on the forefoot, or forefoot & backfoot at the same time. Get cushioned-shoes as well.
- Sleeping – don’t have legs straight all night long. Have a wedge below your knees. Or some pillows under your knees. Put the pillows between your knees if you sleep on your side.
