Images
Everyone knows that exercise is more than just a good health habit; it’s also a specific and effective treatment for many knee and hip problems. Strength in the muscles around a damaged knee or hip can help support that joint by taking over some of its responsibilities.

A strong quadriceps can take over the shock-absorbing role usually played by the meniscus or cartilage in the knee.
