Kneeling is good for everyone. This exercise has almost no contraindications. People with sore knee joints can also try the Chinese effective technique for themselves. Let's look at the causes of knee pain.
What causes knee pain?
Chinese doctors explain thatdue to a decrease in the flow of qi and blood energy to this part of the body, the amount of lubrication in the joint is reduced. If it is not there, then the bones gradually begin to rub against each other, like parts of a mechanism, after which they wear out. This ends with terrible pains in this part of the limbs, especially if they are at least a little cold. When exertion, the pain intensifies - when descending or climbing stairs, long walks.

Considering the fact that both points described above are paired, theirit is better to massage with your thumbs, making circular movements and pressing for a minute. Only after working with them, you can proceed directly to the knees.
