Reducing Stress On Your Knees:
- Proper Footwear: Invest in well-fitting, supportive shoes with good arch support and cushioning to reduce the impact on your knees during physical activities.
- Low-Impact Exercises: Choose low-impact exercises like swimming, cycling, and walking. These activities are easier on the knees while providing excellent cardiovascular benefits.
- Strength Training: Developing strong leg muscles can help support and stabilize your knees. Focus on exercises that target the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calf muscles.
- Stretching and Flexibility: Regular stretching can improve the flexibility of your leg muscles and reduce the strain on your knees. Incorporate stretches into your exercise routine and throughout the day.
- Proper Technique: When engaging in physical activities, ensure that you use proper form and technique. This helps prevent unnecessary stress on your knees and other joints.
- Moderation: Avoid overexertion. Listen to your body and give it time to recover after intense workouts. Overtraining can lead to overuse injuries, including knee problems.
- Weight Management: Maintaining a healthy weight reduces the load on your knees. Even small reductions in body weight can significantly decrease the stress on your knee joints.
- Warm-Up and Cool Down: Always warm up before exercise and cool down afterward. This prepares your muscles and joints for activity and aids in recovery.
- Orthopedic Support: If you have knee issues, consult with a healthcare professional about using orthopedic braces, sleeves, or custom orthotics to provide additional support and relieve pressure on the knees.
Consulting a Healthcare Professional: If you have chronic knee pain or existing knee conditions, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional, such as an orthopedic specialist or physical therapist. They can provide guidance, recommend specific exercises or treatments, and help you create a personalized plan for staying active while protecting your knee health.
Understanding Diabetes
Diabetes can cause nerve damage and poor circulation that can be hazardous to your feet. Wearing extra width and depth shoes can help alleviate pressure on swollen feet, bunions, or hammer toes for a more comfortable fit. With extra room to accommodate custom orthotics, our supportive shoes are specially designed to help protect your feet, reduce the risk of skin irritation, provide stability, and deliver comfort.
