A member asked:
I have knee pain, will my knee heal itself, or is there any treatment?

It depends: Depending on the condition, knee pain can respond to conservative treatment. However, you need to make sure you have no significant damage such as a torn meniscus or torn cruciate ligament before you start exercising. Focus your exercises on low impact quadriceps strengthening program such as riding an exercise bike or elliptical trainers.

Exercises: Exercise therapy can be very helpful for knee pain, particularly runners knee. However, they must be performed in certain ways. Rest from strenuous activities and targeted therapy are key. Online resources are available on sites such as simpletherapy.Com.
