Improper exercise can cause symptoms of disease in certain parts of the body. Because athletes need to do a lot of exercise every day, some joints of the body are more prone to diseases. Such as knees, etc. After such a situation occurs, targeted treatment and control should be carried out in a timely manner. So what should athletes do if they suffer a knee injury? Let us introduce it in detail below.

Chair Pose Variation

Start from the mountain pose with your back against the wall. Slowly bend your knees to less than 90 degrees, keeping your knees and ankles perpendicular to the ground. Tuck your tailbone inward and let your entire back rest against the wall to strengthen your leg muscles. Hold for a while, then straighten your knees and relax. To work your inner thighs, place a yoga block between your knees.

Seated forward bend

Start in seated mountain pose, bend your right knee inward, keep your left leg extended and your muscles tight, and bring your left second toe toward your knee. Inhale to stretch your spine upward, exhale and slowly lean your upper body forward, focusing on the tightening of your leg muscles and the stretching of the posterior hamstring ligaments. Pay attention to stretching your back in the bound-leg pose. If your back cannot be straight, place a yoga blanket or yoga brick under your hips. Don't pull your feet too close to your body. Focus on stretching the inner thighs to strengthen this part of the muscles.

Warrior Pose Variation: Face the wall, step forward with your right foot, place your hands on the wall, and place your left heel on the ground. Inhale to stretch your spine upward, and exhale to bend your right knee and feel the stretch down the back of your left leg. Pay attention to tightening and lifting your leg muscles, and do not let your right knee go beyond your toes. Start by lying on your right side with your head resting on your right arm, your legs together, and your knees bent 90 degrees. Inhale and slowly lift the left knee upwards, keeping your feet together, until your knees are about a palm's width apart. Hold for a few breaths, then slowly lower it while exhaling.

Start with the mountain pose to balance on one leg. Move your weight to your right foot, bend your left knee backward and place it on a chair without leaning forward. Pull your hips forward and feel the stretch in the front of your left thigh. Be sure to adjust the chair to the appropriate height.

When an athlete suffers a knee injury, the first thing he should do is stop exercising and then actively treat the knee area. The knee is an important part that allows the body to move. Therefore, you must wait until the knee injury is completely healed before you can continue exercising.
