When we walk, the impact and intensity of weight is greater, when we take stairs, the intensity of weight over the knee doubles; when working out or jumping, it triples. For example, if our body is overweight by 15 kg, it will impact our knees as much as 40 to 60 kg. Since it is our body weight, we may not notice it in the initial stage, but it will eventually impact our knee to a great extent if not treated properly.
Lack of exercise is another element for the cause of knee pain. Lifestyle increases the impact of knee pain because nowadays we don't engage in much physical work like in the olden days. Even though traveling, the job sector, lifestyle, etc doesn't demand much physical effort, we must find time to do some breathing or ground exercise. It is observed that the exercises or workouts in our daily routines are much reduced. It is also recently claimed that due to the presence of some genes, knee pain can be hereditary.
