Is it okay to do yoga and exercise once you've been diagnosed with a bruised bone knee?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exercise Gently: Quote Dr. John Lyftogt: "Rest is not a stimulus for repair." Gentle exercise stimulates blood and lymphatic flow & repair.Go easy. If knee is fractured, a certain amount of rest is required.If pain fails to subside within 3-6 weeks, it may be more than a bruise: fibular displacement or femoral nerve inflammation, for example.Seeing a dr. knowledgeable about chronic injury may then be appropriate.
