How many times a day do you find yourself struggling with knee pain?
If you said more than once a day, you might not have a bad knee, but some days, it really feels like that knee is trying to earn the title.
Knee pain can occur for many different reasons, and it can happen in different parts of your knee. A common area for pain is the inside of your knee, which is your medial meniscus. This can be caused by a muscle tear, arthritis, or bursitis.
You should always consult your physician for any persistent pains that you have, but this simple stretch might be a great thing to try in the meantime!
If you experience pain bending your knee or even crossing your legs, this stretch is perfect for you. Jill Miller, founder of Yoga Tune Up, created a video tutorial for this stretch on an episode of the OWN Show.
All you need for this stretch is a hand towel! You will fold the towel up and place it under your knee. She suggests getting it up as far into the knee joint as you can. Watch the video below to see how to do this stretch at home!
