Can you sit in an imaginary ‘Chair’?

Dear @Sreekala , it looks you have started to have your knee pain in the recent past....that means this can be checked at the early stages...I have seen an video on the Whatsapp by some doctor where he advised to sit on a uniform surface and keep the knee in relaxing position and now try to locate the knee cap. That is the cap of the knee which moves freely on the knee joint and it is known as 'Patella'. Now this Patella movers in all eight directions - upwards , down wards, left side, right side and diagonally between upside and leftside. upside and right side , downward and left side and downward and right side.That means it can move in all eight directions. Now he advises to catch hold of the patella while in relaxing position and move it three times in each direction three times so that the moments hampered if any will get to normal this you can do three to four time a day by relaxing your knee! Hope this thing works for you! All the best!

I have no idea what exercise would get rid of the knee pain as I don't exercise myself. I just know that drinking green tea might help. Also you can check out Pinterest for exercises particularly for the knee. You'll find many answers there.

Are you taking your tablets regularly? That exercise that you are being asked to do is called "goda khurchi" in our language, and is actually given as punishment to kids. Do not try it as it could mean you need help to get up else you might bang head against the wall while getting up. I suggest calcium tablets ostocalcium ..daily..2 - one in morning one in evening. Then some simple ALWAYS BEGIN WITH SIMPLE EXERCISES. Goda khurchi for adults is simplified. Lie down on floor and put your legs on bed. Count 10. Bring them down. Again do it. First two days 20 times. Next two days 30 times, then after two days 40. Stop at 50. Tell me if you feel any relief.

do it leaning against a wall. the other thing it could be is the weather, if its cold.

You can extend the leg and knee out while sitting comfortable on a chair. Let the leg rest on something. Then flex the muscles at the knee cap, pulling upwards. Do 6 times then relax 30 sec. Repeat cycle as many times as you want. (Two minutes is good) and through out the day. Yogic exercise good to remove water from knee joints or any kind of pains.

Haven't tried sitting in the imaginary chair that's must be hard. Have you tried to consult a doctor for your knee pain?

You should consult a physio therapist. They will suggest something for you.

I doubt I can do something like that because it's even harder to do some squat as well.

What a smart son you have. That is a great idea.

I've never tried sitting in an imaginary chair but I think it's painful for the knees? Or no?

I can't because of knee pain.

@Sreekala Your son is right.This exercise is good for your knees.I do it everyday.

Omg with knee pain how can you try knee excercise.thats not a good excercise for it as we put pressure on knee .try some excercise which doesn't put pressure on knee.

I did this exercise in my gym class. You can start with your shoulders on the wall and start moving down slowly. First times you can try it this way and after some time you will stay by yourself.

I am not sure about that. I hope it does feel better soon.

That’s doesn’t sound like a good idea. It could only cause damage to your back. The most important thing to consider before doing exercise is the correct posture.

That is an interesting idea about the imaginary chair. I am going to try that later.

Do yoga. Seriously...yoga has no knee stretching and you can start very slowly. It will lubricate your joints nicely. Also, for hurting joints is the best remedy gentle (natural) movement. I think walking or swimming can be awesome.

This is one kind of exercise. But does it useful for you?

Don't do the exercises which require a lot of jumping. Don't put pressure on your knees. Start off slow and do the mild ones which involves a lot of movement, you can start weight training or yoga is also good. You can also start off your day with doing suryanamaskar rounds.
