How to Prevent Knee Pain
Knee pain has a host of causes. Many types of
pain are difficult to prevent, but you can do
some general things to reduce the likelihood of
sustaining a knee injury.

1.  Stay slim

• Staying slim reduces the forces placed on the
  knee during both athletics and everyday walking
  and, according to some medical research, may
  reduce osteoarthritis.
• Keeping your weight down may also reduce the
  number of ligament and tendon injuries for
  similar reasons.

2. Keep limber, keep fit

• Many knee problems are due to tight or imbalanced
  musculature. Stretching and strengthening,
  therefore, also help to prevent knee pain.
• Stretching keeps your knee from being too tight
  and aids in preventing both patellofemoral
  syndrome and iliotibial band syndrome.
• Strengthening exercises particularly of the
  quadriceps (straight leg raises and leg
  extensions are two excellent exercises, but
  please see a book on exercise and training for
  more) can help prevent knee injury.

3 Exercise wisely

• If you have chronic knee pain, consider swimming
  or water exercises.
• In water, the force of buoyancy supports some of
  our weight so our knees do not have to.
• If you don't have access to a pool or do not
  enjoy water activities, at least try to limit
  hard pounding and twisting activities such as
  basketball, tennis, or jogging.
• You may find that your aching knees will act up
  if you play basketball or tennis every day but
  will not if you limit your pounding sports to
  twice a week.
• Whatever you do, respect and listen to your body.
  If it hurts, change what you are doing.
• If you are fatigued, consider stopping many
  injuries occur when people are tired.

4. Protect the knee

• Wearing proper protection for the activity at
  hand can help avoid knee injuries.
• When playing volleyball or when laying carpet,
  protecting your knees may include knee pads.
• When driving, knee protection may include wearing
  a seat belt to avoid the knee-versus-dashboard
  injuries as well as injuries to other parts of
  your body.
