Dr. Xu Ge
After knee injury, exercise methods mainly focus on yoga poses. Yoga involves gentle movements that are effective for recovery. These include upper-body knee bends and stretches, towel-assisted exercises, single-leg standing balance, and stretching exercises. Commonly recommended knee rehabilitation exercises also include swimming. Swimming works out the entire body's muscles while placing minimal resistance on the knees. Therefore, swimming does not damage the knee joint and is beneficial for knee health.
