Crunching or grinding on the knees isn’t always a cause for concern.
My knees have painless little “speed bumps” that I’ve had for years. They haven’t gotten any worse so I don’t give them much thought.
However, they may not be innocuous, so it’s important to make sure you’re doing what you can to ensure your body is aligned and the right muscles work when you move.
Alignment and activation issues can result in cartilage continuing to degenerate, which can eventually lead to pain and limitation and real bone-on-bone. (Note: this is also referred to as chondromalacia patellae)
In this video Dr. Boynton outlines the background and shares insights from her 30+ years of surgical practice on what the issues are and whether surgery is a viable option or not.
Then, Coach E walks you through 5 exercises to strengthen the knees and get the feet/ankles and hips working properly so there is less load going through the knees, keeping them healthier for longer.
