The exercises that help with knee recovery include:
1. Swimming: Swimming is a low impact whole-body exercise that puts less pressure on the knee joints while enhancing muscle strength and joint flexibility. Long term adherence to swimming can stabilize the knee joint, enhance the strength of surrounding muscles, and delay degenerative changes in the knee joint.
2. Cycling: Cycling is a low impact aerobic exercise that can enhance the strength of thigh muscles and reduce the burden on knee joints. This exercise can strengthen the core muscle group and thigh muscles, improve body stability, and help reduce the risk of knee joint injuries.
3. Straight leg lifting exercise: This is a non load bearing exercise method that can exercise the muscles around the knee joint, especially the quadriceps. The specific method is to support the body with both elbows when lying down, bend one leg and stretch the other leg with force, hook the toes up, slowly lift the leg up to a certain height, stay for a moment, and then slowly lower it down. This exercise helps promote the recovery of knee joint function.
