Knee movements can help build joint strength if these precautions are followed

New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): Today's irregular daily routine and poor eating habits are weakening the body, which primarily affects the knee and hip joints. Pain and weakness in these joints have become common problems, but simple yoga exercises like "knee movement" or "shamasthiti" can easily overcome these problems.

According to the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India, Knee Movement strengthens the knee and hip joints, increases stability, and improves lower body strength. This asana, called 'Knee Movement' or 'Samasthiti' (Alert Pose), is extremely useful in strengthening the knee and hip joints. This simple exercise increases lower body stability and provides strength. It is considered a foundational posture of yoga.

According to experts, to practice knee movement, stand upright, join your feet, place your hands at your sides, and look straight ahead. This pose requires complete balance, strengthening your body's foundation.

Regular practice strengthens the knee and hip joints, providing better balance and stability in daily life. This exercise is especially beneficial for those who experience weakness in their lower body due to prolonged sitting. Many people complain of pain in their knees and hips. Knee movements can help alleviate these problems.

This pose not only increases physical strength but also improves mental concentration. Experts believe that standing in this pose for a few minutes daily strengthens muscles and reduces unnecessary pressure on joints.

Knee Movement isn't just a standing posture, it's also effective for balancing both body and mind. However, experts caution that if someone has severe arthritis, they should avoid this asana. In such cases, consult a doctor or yoga expert. Otherwise, healthy individuals can easily perform it at home without any equipment.
