Pain in the foot, knee or hip? These 6 simple tips can change your life

Luck was not on my side as I inherited my mother's bad knees. That means I have frequent knee pain. I have had several surgeries over the years, but my knees are still stiff and it makes me feel very uncomfortable.

Pain in the knees, feet and thighs sometimes indicates damage to the ligament or cartilage. Diagnosis of this problem can be confusing, because problems in the thighs can lead to knee pain, and knee problems can cause pain in the feet.

They always recommended that I do conservative exercises to make my joints feel better, but I never knew exactly how to do them. And above all, I never found the time to do them.

But recently I came across some tips to help keep and protect people with hip, knee, and foot pain. Here are six simple exercises that really helped me, and I hope they will do the same for you ...

Ankle rotation

To strengthen weak ankles, you must do the following:

• Sit up and raise your leg
• Slowly rotate your raised foot with circular motions
• Repeat 10 times in one direction and then 10 times in the other direction. Do it with both legs.

Standing on the balls of your feet

It may sound strange, but it's a super simple exercise that you can do as you walk through your house while doing regular chores.

Try walking on the balls of your feet, and also on your heels at high speed - it helps strengthen your knees and provides little training to your feet. It also helps with balance.

Try to do it between 5 and 15 minutes, or until you get tired.

Body lifts with your toes

To start, take a chair and stand behind it, and use your hands for balance.

• Lift one heel off the floor
• Slowly lift the heel of the second leg so that you are actually standing only on the toes
• Gently lower the heels to the floor
• Repeat the exercise 10-15 times on each foot

This will strengthen your ankles and help to build muscle around the knees.

Resistance Exercise

For this exercise you will need an elastic band.

• Wrap the band band around a sturdy piece of furniture - one that will not move.
• Put the other end of the rubber band around your leg.
• Use the rubber band as an opposing force, and move the leg to different angles. Move the leg forward 10 times, then 10 times to the side.
• Repeat 10-15 times on each foot and leg.

This exercise strengthens several things, like the muscles in the foot and thigh.

Circling your toes

Training your toe on a daily basis can do wonders. And it's also fun to invent games for it.

• First, bend your thumb for a few seconds, then stretch it. Repeat 30 times.
• Place a small towel on the floor and spread it.
• Try to lift the towel with the toe and put it in the basket.

Use balls

It's both relaxing and also good to combine balls in your practice.

• Find a tennis ball, or a ball of similar size.
• Sit on a chair.
• Place your foot on the ball and apply pressure
• Move the ball back and forth slowly
• Enjoy the massage

Tip of champions

Acupuncture and foot massage are used all over the world.

If after a long day you have a problem, place two thumbs on the position like in the picture above, and slowly massage the area for 15 minutes.
