A Tip For Relieving Knee Problems


I’ve written a lot about addressing injuries as this is consistently an issue for active people.


This tip seemed to make sense – run backwards as a means of recovering from a knee injury.
Martha Edwards wrote about this practice on the http://www.thatsfit.com/ site --

When running backwards, you want to make sure you have a wide area free from obstructions. Lean forward and keep your nose over your toes. Use your arms to help keep your balance.


Try this training exercise – it might just do the trick for those wobbly knees.
